We propose an SQP algorithm for mathematical programs with vanishing constraints which solves at each iteration a quadratic program with linear vanishing constraints. The algorithm is based on the newly developed concept of $${\mathcal {Q}}$$Q-stationarity (Benko and Gfrerer in Optimization 66(1):61–92, 2017). We demonstrate how $${\mathcal {Q}}_M$$QM-stationary solutions of the quadratic program can be obtained. We show that all limit points of the sequence of iterates generated by the basic SQP method are at least M-stationary and by some extension of the method we also guarantee the stronger property of $${\mathcal {Q}}_M$$QM-stationarity of the limit points.
