The biggest single contract award during February was Laing O鈥楻ourke鈥檚 appointment to build Everton Football Club鈥檚 new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for 拢500m.
That contract alone put Laing O鈥橰ourke at the top of the Builders鈥� Conference BCLive contracts league for February 2020.
In second place for the month was Kier. But while Laing O鈥橰ourke鈥檚 business model is to shun lower value jobs and focus on a relatively few major projects, Kier鈥檚 regional offices chase workload where they can and picked up 27 new pieces of business in February 鈥� a month with just 20 working days. The total value of Kier鈥檚 contract haul was 拢341.2m.
Third place in the February contracts league was taken by Hitachi Zosen Inova joint venture, appointed to build a 拢250m waste-to-energy plant in Charnwood, Leicestershire for Covanta Energy.聽聽
A 拢240m contract to build a new office tower at 20 Ropemaker Street in the City of London pushed Skanska into fourth spot.
