Summary

Machine-generated summary

Danmarks Nationalbank, the central bank of Denmark, is procuring the production of a new series of Danish banknotes. The new series will consist of 4 denominations (50, 100, 200 and 500 krone), produced together with an external security printer, with no 1000-kroner note. The first two denominations are expected to be delivered in 2028 and the remaining two in 2029. The contracting authority anticipates entering into a contract with a security printer in mid-2026 and will submit complete and approved designs for all four denominations. Suppliers of security printing are the intended bidders.

Description

Danmarks Nationalbank is the central bank of Denmark and is an independent, self-governing institution established by law. In a strategic move announced during a press conference on November 30. 2023, Danmarks Nationalbank revealed its initiatives to ensure that cash remains a safe and efficient means of payment in the future. Recognizing the enduring importance of cash transactions, efforts are being made to enhance the safety and efficiency of banknotes, aligning them with technological advancements. The contracting authority is set to issue a new banknote series, anticipated that the first two (2) denominations are delivered in 2028 and the two (2) remaining denominations are delivered i 2029. All banknote series, except the current 2009 and 2009A series featuring bridges and artifacts, have been rendered invalid after May 31. 2025. Notably, the upcoming series will exclude a 1000-kroner note, and the existing 1000-kroner note have ceased to be valid currency in Denmark after May 31. 2025. For the first time since the closing of the printworks, the contracting authority has collaborated with an external security printer to craft the new banknotes. The new banknote series will consist of 4 denominations (50-, 100-, 200- and 500-krone). Despite this external partnership, we have been deeply involved in the design process, guaranteeing the preservation of Danish design traditions and cultural nuances in the appearance of the new banknotes. With this procurement, the contracting authority anticipates entering into a contract with a security printer mid-2026. As stated in Appendix 1 (Specifications) the contracting authority will submit complete and approved design for all the four (4) denominations that will be subject for production during the contract. Minor adjustments to the design will be needed as further decribed in Appendix 1 (Specifications). The material that the contracting authority will submit will consist of: • Completed banknote series design • Origination files • Proof prints • Design layout compendium with detailed specifications The contracting authority will invite all the prequalified Tenderers to a joined presentation and inspection of the new banknote series design. All prequalified Tenderer shall enter into a NDA before the meeting
