In addition to the initial deposit paid at the time of application, a bidder must, on the day specified for delivery of sealed bids under regulation 14, pay into OFCOM’s bank account by a same day electronic transfer, with accompanying information which identifies the bidder, a further sum in pounds as a deposit.
The further sum to be paid under paragraph (1) shall—
where the initial deposit has not been forfeited in accordance with regulation 26, be a sum representing the difference between—
the bidder’s initial deposit; and
the sum which that bidder has specified on the bidding document; or
where the initial deposit has been forfeited in accordance with regulation 26, the sum which that bidder has specified on the bidding document.
The total amount on deposit after payment of the further sum constitutes the bid deposit.
