How to acquire an expired .co.uk domain?

What is the redemption and deletion procedure? What are the time periods?

Hi,

I am already a Domainer and have close to 100 multiple domains. This domain (that I wish to buy) expired in May and still is in SUSPENSION state. When I tried to register it, the registrar says it's not available to register. Does anyone have any idea about the Redemption Period of the .co.uk domain?

Names are usually released 99 days after first being suspended - but often there are reasons that prevent the release of a name and that 99 day period is often extended by a few days or even months
