Collapsed budget retailer’s 12,500 workers wait to hear whether buyer emerged by Wednesday night

Interested parties in the household goods chain, which has 400 stores, had until Wednesday night to put forward their best offers for the company which called in administrators last week as it faced running out of cash.
