“We have an excellent selection of categories for you to enter as well as some exciting new ones such Design Innovation, Digital Pioneer, Infrastructure Planning, Product Innovation, Service Innovation and Subcontractor of the Year – which has been split into three sub-categories to ensure SMEs are recognised and comes with a prize worth £5,000.”
