Midas Construction discontinued the building works after the company went into administration in January this year.

The local authority in Devon, Torbay Council, appointed Morgan Sindall under the Scape Framework, which provides accelerated procurement for public sector organisations.

According to the council, the revised date of completing the construction work on the hotel is yet to be finalised.

“Following that failure, the appointment of Morgan Sindall is great news for this project. Whilst there are still details to work through in terms of the delivery and time costs, we remain absolutely committed to this project.”

Long added: “Upon completion, Harbour View hotel will complement existing hotel accommodation and our wider Torquay harbourside regeneration works, supporting the renewed ambition for Torquay and Torbay as a premier UK resort.”

Once the hotel is operational, it is expected to generate around 30 permanent employment opportunities along with an additional $3.9m (£3m) boost to the local tourism economy.
