Up to three bidders are expected to make firm offers to buy the retailer
Peacocks.

The deadline of today has been set by the administrators, KPMG.

The clothing firm, which went bust last month, has 563 stores - including in Weston, Burnham and Nailsea - and employs 9-thousand staff.

The money raised from the sale will go to repay Peacocks' creditors, who are
owed 750-million-pounds.
