The Riverlinx Consortium took the top spot this month with a single award valued at £1 billion to deliver the Silvertown Tunnel development in London. The Consortium contains Aberdeen Standard Investments, BAM PPP PGGM, Cintra, Macquarie Capital and SK E&C.

Mace and Skanska were in second and third place for January 2020, with a total contract award value of £400 million and £260 million respectively. This month, the top three contractors have been awarded a combined four projects at a total value of £1.66 billion.
