(4) That estimate must be calculated as at the moment at which the concession notice is [F8submitted] for publication in accordance with regulation 35 (form and manner of publication of notices) or, in cases where such notice is not provided for, at the moment at which the contracting entity commences the procurement for the award of a concession contract.
