UUE & IAND win Digital Collaboration of the year at the 2026 Digital Construction Awards.

We were delighted to pick up the award for Digital Collaboration of the year for our work with United Utilities Enterprise (UUE). It is great to see the scale of innovation taking place in infrastructure transforming productivity, delivering great projects - it is a sector that is embracing digital at pace.

What the judges said

“A truly excellent effort demonstrating a replicable model for accelerated mobilisation, compliance, and engagement.”

UUE is delivering the £3bn segment of United Utilities’ £13.7bn AMP 8 programme in the north-west of England. To manage the project’s scale, UUE brought together eight delivery partners and more than 300 suppliers into a single digital ecosystem powered by the IAND platform. Thanks to the platform, 90% of onboarding and compliance tasks are now automated, duplicated documentation has been eliminated, and real-time visibility of spend and supplier performance has enabled proactive risk management and aligned decision-making across all partners.

Elspeth Finch CEO of IAND and Joanna Vinall Head of Customer Success at IAND represented the United Utilites Enteprise team at the awards, collecting the teams trophy from Ed Byrne, Chris Curling from Bluebeam and Karolina Orecchini from Digital Construction week.

IAND and United Utilities Enterprise have demonstrated what’s possible when digital technology and new delivery models come together. The result is a truly integrated digital ecosystem that is transforming how water infrastructure can be delivered.
