  "text": "(1) OFCOM shall determine which 3.6 GHz assignment stage options shall be included in the 3.6 GHz assignment stage option list for each bidder which is eligible to bid.\n(2) A bidder's 3.6 GHz assignment stage options shall be each of those blocks of numbered 3.6 GHz lots which satisfy all of the following conditions—\n(a) the number of 3.6 GHz lots contained in the block is equal to the number of that bidder's winning principal stage bids for 3.6 GHz lots;\n(b) if that bidder were assigned the 3.6 GHz lots contained in the block the following two conditions would be satisfied—\n(i) each other bidder could be assigned 3.6 GHz lots contained in a block that, in respect of that other bidder's winning principal stage bids for 3.6 GHz lots, satisfies the condition in sub-paragraph (a);\n(ii) the 3.6 GHz lots not assigned to that bidder or any other bidder (the “leftover 3.6 GHz lots”) would form a single block of numbered 3.6 GHz lots; and\n(c) if a bidder made winning principal stage bids for fewer than five 3.6 GHz lots and that bidder were to be assigned the 3.6 GHz lots contained in the block, at least one of the following five conditions would be satisfied—\n(i) the block would include either 3.6 GHz frequency lot 1 or 3.6 GHz lot 24;\n(ii) the block would be adjacent to a block of fewer than five 3.6 GHz lots which would include 3.6 GHz lot 1 or 3.6 GHz lot 24;\n(iii) the block would be adjacent to the block of leftover 3.6 GHz lots which includes 3.6 GHz lot 1 or 3.6 GHz lot 24;\n(iv) the block would be adjacent to a block of fewer than five 3.6 GHz lots which would itself be adjacent to a block in a series of other contiguous blocks of fewer than five 3.6 GHz lots, provided that at least one block in this series would include 3.6 GHz lot 1 or 3.6 GHz lot 24; or\n(v) the block would be adjacent to a block in a series of contiguous blocks (which comprises the block of leftover 3.6 GHz lots and blocks containing fewer than five 3.6 GHz lots) provided that at least one block in this series would include 3.6 GHz lot 1 or 3.6 GHz lot 24.",
