Regulation 81 Preparing a 26 GHz upper lot assignment stage options list for each bidder
OFCOM shall determine which 26 GHz upper assignment stage options shall be included in the 26 GHz upper assignment stage options list for each bidder which is eligible to bid.
A 26 GHz double lot winner (if any), which has already been assigned in the first assignment stage round a block of 26 GHz lower lots which includes 26 GHz lot 7, shall be assigned, without bidding, a block of 26 GHz upper lots (equal to the number of lots won within that bidder’s winning principal stage bid for 26 GHz upper lots) which includes 26 GHz lot 8 and that assigned block shall not be included in any 26 GHz upper assignment stage option list.
A bidder’s 26 GHz upper assignment stage options shall be each of those blocks of numbered 26 GHz upper lots which satisfy all of the following conditions—
the number of 26 GHz upper lots contained in the block is equal to the number of lots won within that bidder’s winning principal stage bid for 26 GHz upper lots;
if that bidder were assigned the 26 GHz upper lots contained in the block the following two conditions would be satisfied—
each other bidder could be assigned 26 GHz upper lots contained in a block that, in respect of that other bidder’s winning principal stage bid for 26 GHz upper lots, satisfies the condition in subparagraph (a); and
the leftover 26 GHz upper lots not assigned to that bidder or any other bidder would form a single block of numbered 26 GHz upper lots which would include 26 GHz lot 12;
if the bidder is a 26 GHz double lot winner (except where regulation 81(2) applies), at least one of the following two conditions would be satisfied—
the block would be adjacent to a block of 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to a 26 GHz double lot winner) which would include 26 GHz lot 8;
the block would be adjacent to a block of 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to a 26 GHz double lot winner) which would itself be adjacent to a block in a series of other contiguous blocks of 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to 26 GHz double lot winners), provided that one block in this series would include 26 GHz lot 8; and
if the bidder is a 26 GHz upper only lot winner, at least one of the following five conditions would be satisfied—
the block would include 26 GHz lot 12;
the block would be adjacent to the block of leftover 26 GHz upper lots;
the block would be adjacent to a block of 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to a 26 GHz upper only lot winner) which would include 26 GHz lot 12;
the block would be adjacent to a block of 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to a 26 GHz upper only lot winner) which would itself be adjacent to a block in a series of other contiguous blocks of 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to 26 GHz upper only lot winners), provided that one block in this series would include 26 GHz lot 12; or
the block would be adjacent to a block in a series of contiguous blocks, which comprises the block of leftover 26 GHz upper lots and blocks containing 26 GHz upper lots (assigned to 26 GHz upper only lot winners).
