The firm was also confirmed a £158m data centre fit-out, along with associated construction work, from global data centre provider Telehouse in London Docklands.

According to data compiled by Barbour ABI, Morgan Sindall remained top of the rolling 12 m onth ranking for vaklue of work secured.

Kier leap-frogged Willmott Dixon to take second place with Bam remaining ranked fourth.
