Regulation 49 Incomplete or defective opt-in bid formI1

Where, due to the manner of completion, an opt-in bid form is incomplete or defective but OFCOM believe that they can ascertain the bidder’s intention in relation to the making of opt-in bids, OFCOM shall ask the bidder to confirm in a notice to OFCOM by a deadline specified by OFCOM that OFCOM have correctly ascertained the bidder’s intention in relation to the making of opt-in bids.

Where the bidder confirms in a notice given to OFCOM by the deadline which is signed by two authorised persons that OFCOM have correctly ascertained the bidder’s intention, the opt-in bid form in its entirety shall be accepted by OFCOM on that basis.

Where the bidder does not give such confirmation, the opt-in bid form in its entirety shall be rejected by OFCOM and the opt-in bids submitted on the opt-in bid form shall not be valid opt-in bids.
