(a) the bidder’s existing immediately useable spectrum holdings; and

(b) the bidder’s existing overall spectrum holdings.

(2) A bidder’s existing immediately useable spectrum holdings to be recorded are those which have been notified by that bidder under regulation 4(3)(a)(iii), as amended to take account of any notifications of subsequent changes to those spectrum holdings which may have been made under regulations 9(1), 10(2), 10(3) or 11.

(3) A bidder’s existing overall spectrum holdings to be recorded are those which have been notified by that bidder under regulation 4(3)(a)(iii), as amended to take account of any notifications of subsequent changes to those spectrum holdings which may have been made under regulations 9(1), 10(2), 10(3) or 11.

(4) After the recording of spectrum holdings, the bidder and, in relation to the bidder, any person referred to in regulation 4(3)(a)(iii) may change its spectrum holdings but in relation to the award process—

(a) the bidder shall be subject to regulations 112 and 115 if they apply to that change; and

(b) the bidder’s recorded spectrum holdings shall not be amended.

(5) If there is such a change, the bidder concerned must notify OFCOM of the change and deliver to OFCOM a revised version of the document provided under regulation 4(3)(a)(iii) which complies with that provision following the change.
