Protecting capital over short term

Hi Forum
I'm in the process of selling my house, and buying another. There appears to be a problem with the property I'm buying. I am getting a formal quote for remedial work, but it is looking likely that I'm going to have to pull out of the purchase.
My sale is going through, with no issues, and I have somewhere to move to while the issues with my purchase is resolved - or probably until I find and complete on another property.
This is going to leave me with a significant pot of money, for potentially 6 months. I've already got ~75k of savings with each of 3 providers. With interest rates dropping, and inflation rising, is there a low risk way to protect the value of that capital?
How long will a value in excess of 75k be protected against a bank failure in a single provider?

Or just put the lot in income bonds with NS&I.
