Bovis Lend Lease fired the final, decisive shot of 2002 - clinching
the Ministry of Defence's £1bn Single Living Accommodation
Modernisation contract and going top in both December's CJ50 and
the 12-month table.
The award of Project SLAM, the biggest deal of the year, meant Bovis jumped eight places in the overall table to claim the overall award for the second year running.
Debut Services, the jv between Bovis Lend Lease and Babcock SGI, which will be managing the SLAM programme, had been announced as preferred bidder in September 2002. Financial close was reached just before Christmas.
Construction work on the first phase of SLAM will begin in April. This will include demolition of some of the existing single persons' quarters - some of which date from the Crimean War - to be replaced with new buildings. Other structures will be stripped down and refurbished, with the emphasis on improving the quality of the accommodation.
Over a five-year period, 16,000 bed spaces will be created at more than 50 armed services bases in England.
Bovis also tuned into the second biggest deal of the month - the £252m management contract for the refurbishment of the BBC's Broadcasting House.
The first phase of the project is underway, with enabling works and demolition of the neighbouring Egton House beginning earlier this month. This phase, which includes the internal and external refurbishment of the Grade II-listed Broadcasting House, will be completed in 2005.
The rest of the work will take until 2008. When finished, the BBC claims it will be the world's largest live news centre, housing all of the corporation's radio, news and World Service programmes.
Carillion was bridesmaid in both December and the overall table. Finishing the year with just over £1bn-worth of new business, Carillion's biggest award for December was, by coincidence, also in the defence sector - a £42m deal to redevelop Lucknow Barracks in Hampshire as part of the MoD's prime contract modernisation programme.
The contractor also drove off with a £30m framework agreement from the Highways Agency in the Midlands, and won a £14.9m office deal in Liverpool with developer 101 OHA, a jv between Beetham and Ethel Austin Properties.
Women's prison
Interserve secured third place after closing a PFI deal to build a new women's prison in Ashford, Middlesex.
The deal, in consortium with Sodexho Alliance and Royal Bank Project Investments, is worth £47m to Interserve. The 450-place, Category B prison will hold remand, unsentenced and sentenced women. It will be the first new women's prison for 30 years.
Fourth-placed Costain sailed off with a £28m job from the Felixstowe Dock and Rail Company, involving the extension of one of the terminals in Felixstowe harbour.
Morrison took fifth spot after a strong month in the infrastructure sector, while Kier, in sixth place, again claimed the month's highest tally of wins.
The fast-expanding Rok finished seventh, after making its first incision into the PFI health market. Rok's recently-acquired subsidiary Llewellyn is part of the Willcare consortium that last month reached financial close on a £18m PFI deal to redevelop the Willesden Centre for Health & Care in north-west London. Llewellyn has a 20% equity stake in the consortium, which is being led by McBains Investment Management.
Mansell finished eighth in the table with the second highest number of wins for the month, while ninth-placed Bowmer & Kirkland continued its strong showing of late, taking a £35m office deal from Development Securities in the Royal Albert Dock, east London.
Mowlem finished 10th after a good showing in the private commercial sector.
Outside the top 10, 13th-placed Dean & Dyball enjoyed an excellent month, winning a £10m college development from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in Poole, and a £7.2m office deal from Devon County Council in Exeter.
Biggest industrial deal
Dew Pitchmastic also had a better than usual month, finishing 17th, and taking a £17m civils job from pharmaceutical company Novartis in Grimsby, December's biggest private industrial deal.
Other big deals in December included: Galliford Try's £10.7m contract to build a motorway service area at Cannock with Midland Expressway; Balfour Beatty's £9.5m hospital deal from Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre NHS Trust in Oxford; and Norwest Holst's contract to build a new research facility at the University of Leicester, worth £15.6m.
