Precisely.

But the way I have previously understood the intention it is not necessary
that the replacement bid alone makes the situation clear to North
immediately if North/South have in their system methods available that
eventually will bring them to the favourable contract without North using
any of the information specific to the retracted insufficient bid as such.
