Bowmer & Kirkland kicked off the new year with a trio of big project wins giving the builder pole position in the January contracts league rankings, which have a fresh new-look for 2021.

The contracts league data is now being supplied by construction information specialist Barbour ABI in a new partnership with the Enquirer that extends contracts and market intelligence for readers in a new-look website page.

B&K’s awards for the month were led by a £125m job to build a 850,000 sq ft mega-shed for retail giant Next to the south of Pontefract in Yorkshire.

After swatting up for education bids, B&K also chalked up a £45m win for two linked schools – One Degree Academy and Wren Academy – on a former hospital site in Enfield, North London.

It also landed phase two and three of Leicester University’s £60m hub project for space research and earth observation.

In the other longer-term contracts league table tracking cumulative project wins over 12 months, Kier heads the field closely followed by Morgan Sindall and Balfour Beatty.

Bluebutton Properties, owners of the Broadgate complex, registered as the biggest client in January after awarding Sir Robert McAlpine a £200m project to deliver the next major rebuild at the Broadgate Estate in the City of London.

The 14-storey rebuilding project for Broadgate 1 and 2 will see 450,000 sq ft replaced with 800,000 sq ft with four stories of retail space and offices above.
