...As firm's collapse threatens bid for ￡130m housing scheme

摘要

A ￡130m housing PFI scheme in Oldham could be derailed following the Rok collapse. Rok was part of the Inspiral consortium, with housing providers Regenter and Great Places Housing Group, which was appointed preferred bidder on the Gateways to Oldham PFI project last November. The consortium is understood to be holding urgent talks with other contractors. However, because the scheme had not reached financial close, rival bidders could challenge a decision by the client to continue with a different contractor.
