IWG said last month that it had received an "indicative proposal" regarding a possible cash offer from the consortium. Bloomberg cited people familiar with the matter as saying that the group is lining up a firm offer of around 300p per share.
It was understood that a final decision hasn't been made and plans for a bid could change.
