Diamond Build Plc placed themselves into Voluntary Liquidation on the 8th January 2024. The Gazette (official public record) published this as insolvency on the 25th January 2024. Whilst the contract for Muswell Hill Library is with Diamond Build Group Plc, all employment was terminated and the contractor withdraw from site. As a result there is a need to re-procure outstanding works. A direct award is considered to offer the Council best value in terms of minimising further disruption to service, time and cost.
