Multiplex Construction Europe Limited and Vinci Construction sat in second and third place with contract award values worth \u00a3350m and \u00a3230m respectively.<\/p>\n

For the rolling 12-month period from May 2018 to April 2019, Kier Construction sits at the top of the table with a total of 154 awards totalling in excess of \u00a32bn. Wates Construction experienced a busy period with 46 awards at a value of \u00a31.6bn and Morgan Sindall were awarded 122 projects totalling just over \u00a31bn.<\/p>\n
