tighten the bolt. Open the clamp and turn it aprox. 1/8 turn and test
Most likely the seatpost clamp isn’t tight enough. Use a 10mm socket or spanner and tighten a quarter turn at a time. Don’t over tighten as this can damage your frame. After a quarter turn, test ride the bike to see if the seatpost still slips. If it does tighten another quarter turn and repeat. Here is the official Brompton video for this issue. Skip to the section for seatpost clamps.
