Counting bids received
You can see how many businesses have bid, and that is all anyone can see. Not the amounts, not who they are, not whether yours is currently in front. That applies to us too: the bids sit with the club treasurer, and the coaches cannot read them.
We publish the count because it is the only fair way to tell you how contested the position is without exposing anybody's number.
The minimum is £1,000 Bids below the reserve cannot be accepted.
Highest bid at the deadline wins If two bids match, the one submitted first takes it.
Bids are binding If you win, we will invoice you for the amount you bid. Please do not bid what you are not certain of.
One round, no counter-offers We will not come back and ask you to beat someone. Bid what the position is worth to you.
Everyone hears either way We will email every bidder after the deadline, win or lose. If you do not win, the other positions are still open to you at their listed price.
