Regulation 38 Incomplete or defective supplementary bids form
Where, due to the manner of completion, a supplementary bids form is incomplete or defective but OFCOM believe that they can ascertain the bidder’s intention in relation to the making of the supplementary bid or bids, OFCOM shall ask the bidder to confirm in a notice to OFCOM by a specified deadline that OFCOM have correctly ascertained the bidder’s intention in relation to the making of the supplementary bid or bids.
Where the bidder confirms, in a notice given to OFCOM by the specified deadline which is signed by two authorised persons of that bidder, that OFCOM have correctly ascertained the bidder’s intention, the supplementary bids form in its entirety shall be accepted by OFCOM on that basis.
Where the bidder does not give such confirmation in a notice given to OFCOM by the specified deadline which is signed by two authorised persons of that bidder—
where the incompleteness or defect relates to one or more of the supplementary bids made on the supplementary bids form, that supplementary bid or those supplementary bids (as the case may be) shall be rejected by OFCOM and shall not be taken into consideration for the purposes of determining—
the winning combination of auction stage bids under regulation 41; and
the price payable by a winning bidder under regulation 43;
where sub-paragraph (a) does not apply, the supplementary bids form in its entirety shall be rejected by OFCOM and none of the supplementary bids made on that supplementary bids form shall be taken into consideration for the purposes of determining—
the winning combination of auction stage bids under regulation 41; and
the price payable by a winning bidder under regulation 43.
