A former contractor that voluntarily participates in an unchallenged replacement tender acquiesces in that process and waives any claim to continued performance under the original contract. Orders made during insolvency and an approved resolution plan do not extend an expired works contract; statutory protection for specified governmental grants does not require contractual renewal.
