In second place was Vinci Construction moving up 14 places with two contract awards at a total value of \u00a3253m. In third place sits Costain Group Plc who has two contract awards at a total value of \u00a3177m.<\/p>\n<p>The latest edition of the Top 50 League Table has been published by industry analysts Barbour ABI and highlights the number and value of contracts awarded. This month shows that the combined value of contracts awarded to the top 50 was just over \u00a34bn and a total of 125 projects.<\/p>\n<p>Other notable contractor activity for June came from Kier. They were the busiest contractor for awards this month, with a total of 13 projects. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/kier-contractors-league-table\/58304\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kier was top of the table in the previous month<\/a> and this month they sit in 14th place. In May they were awarded 12 projects at a total value of \u00a3397m, this month the 13 contract awards had a combined value of \u00a363m, suggesting no significant change in quantity of awards, but a substantial drop in value.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a less lucrative month for Kier, they still hold the top position in the rolling 12-month period with a total of 149 projects at a total value of \u00a31.96bn. However, they are closely followed by Wates Construction, with 50 projects valued at \u00a31.72bn.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-59689 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-1024x724.png\" alt=\"Top 50 league table, Barbour ABI,\" width=\"696\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-1024x724.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-768x543.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-696x492.png 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-1068x755.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June-594x420.png 594w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/High-value-construction-contracts-boost-activity-in-June.png 1184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tom Hall, chief economist at Barbour ABI said: \u201cThis month has been dominated by high-value projects, the top three contractors won five projects between them, as opposed to last month when the top three won a total of 19 projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn June we have seen an increase of 42% on May in project awards values, largely due to the SRP Process Facility at Sellafield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Download the full report here: <a href=\"https:\/\/ubm.io\/2XAxEhu\">https:\/\/ubm.io\/2XAxEhu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest edition of the Top 50 League Table by Barbour ABI shows that the combined value of construction contracts awarded to the top 50 in June totalled over \u00a34bn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[825,676,579,639],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-59682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-barbour-abi","8":"tag-construction","9":"tag-infrastructure","10":"tag-procurement"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>High value construction contracts boost activity in June<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The latest Top 50 League Table by Barbour ABI shows that the combined value of construction contracts awarded to the top 50 in June totalled over \u00a34bn\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-contracts-june\/59682\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"High value construction contracts boost activity in June\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The latest edition of the Top 50 League Table by Barbour ABI shows that the combined value of construction contracts awarded to the top 50 in June totalled over \u00a34bn\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-contracts-june\/59682\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;

We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
