Yes they can instruct a new CE to reduce the hoarding they want. However you then get to assess the cost saving of not providing the hoarding. If for example you have already bought all the materials and can not get any refund then you would not reduce the cost by the material cost you have incurred. You work out the cost of what the 25% will cost to install, add any cost you have already incurred and then deduct that from the £100k and the difference will be the saving you offer. You may well be able to prove that not doing 75% of the work may still cost 50% of the original quote - but of course you have to justify that otherwise they will assess it themselves.
