The answer

Answered by David Steel on 14 Nov 2001 · 28 days after it was lodged, on time

Flour City Architectural Metals (UK) Ltd was contractually obliged to submit a performance bond, but failed to do so. This transgression by the contractor led to the issue of a "notice of failure". A parent company guarantee was provided only days before the company became insolvent.
