If rumours are to be believed they have already bid.
If an actual bid were to happen, it would have to be disclosed to the market. Perhaps they're talking on the sidelines but anything serious and they would have to announce it.

If I were a Vodafone shareholder, the first question I would ask in regards to VM, is why would Vodafone be interested in a network that only covers 50% of the country? The next question I would ask is why has VM's tv customer numbers been flat and so on.

I don't see a Vodafone/Liberty tie-up as a done deal by any stretch.
