An admirable observation, old fruit, save that at the time of said
admission, the auction had not run its course.  I thus aver that the bidding
process was still ongoing, and the use of the present participle therefore
correct, appropriate and acceptable.  

On the other hand, I would not reject your proposed alternative, so long as
you accept that it is such, and not a correction.

Is that a deal, or do we have to escalate to higher authority?

Wow, only here ;-)

Surely, Piers, it should be "... admitted to having bid ...".  It is in the
past, after all.

Well, you did mention something about being in the company of pedants ...
