Beskrivelse
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

Beskrivelser af krav til deltagelse

  • The candidate must submit the European Single Procurement Document ("ESPD") with the following information. The candidates total annual turnover in the latest financial year available. In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the economic and financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications (Appendix G). If the candidate relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of requirements, see below, the candidate and the entities in question will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity. Before the award decision is made, the candidate to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. Upon the contracting entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted: A statement regarding the operator's overall turnover in the latest annual report/financial statement available, depending on when the operator was established or started trading if the figures for this turnover are available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information in the latest annual report/financial statement available must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be provided as well. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, a total annual turnover of at least EUR 118 million is required in the latest annual report/financial statement available. If the candidate relies on the capacities of other entities, the turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the candidate and such other entities in the latest annual report/financial statement available. For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), the turnover is calculated as the total turnover of the operators in the latest annual report/financial statement available. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD.
  • The candidate must submit the ESPD with the following information: Information on the candidate's quality assurance standard. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity. Before the award decision is made, the candidate to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. Upon the contracting entity's request, documentation of quality assurance standard must be submitted. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, the candidate shall document to be compliant with a quality assurance standard that requires the implementation of a quality management system equivalent to ISO 9001:2015 attested by an independent body.
  • The candidate must submit the ESPD with the following information: Information on technical equipment available for carrying out the contract sufficient to demonstrate compliance with minimum requirement. Before the award decision is made, the candidate to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity. No additional documentation of tools, plant, or technical equipment will be required from the candidate. However, the contracting entity reserves the right to contact the candidate for verification of the information stated in the ESPD. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, the candidate shall document that the candidate have the following technical equipment available for carrying out the contract: • Equipment intended for the wet offset printing process for a 4+6 color print • Equipment intended for the intaglio printing process featuring 5 shablons positioned on one side of the banknote • Equipment intended for the application of a security foil patch
  • The candidate must submit the ESPD with the following information: A list of the 5 most significant comparable supplies that the candidate has carried out in the latest 5 years before the expiry of the deadline for application. The description should ensure compliance with the minimum requirement for participation, as well as seek to describe relevant supplies in order for the contracting authority to select the five prequalified tenderers. Only references relating to supplies carried out at the time of the deadline for application will be given importance in the evaluation of whether the requirements regarding technical and professional capacity have been complied with, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies already performed at the time of the deadline for application will be included in the evaluation of the reference. Each reference is requested to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The description of the delivery should include a clear description of the supplies to which the delivery related and the candidate’s role(s) in the performance of the delivery. The reference is furthermore requested to include the financial value of the delivery (amount), the date of delivery and the name of the customer (recipient). When indicating the date of the delivery, the candidate is requested to indicate the date of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement, the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified. No more than 5 references may be stated, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single operator, whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or is a group of operators (e.g., a consortium). Where more than 5 references are stated, only the most recent 5 references will be taken into account. Any additional references will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references are the most recent 5 references, the references will be selected by drawing lots. In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the technical capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity. Before the award decision is made, the candidate to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. No additional documentation of technical and professional capacity related to reference will be required from the candidate. However, the contracting entity reserves the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of the reference indicated. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, the candidate shall provide two references stating that the candidate has produced banknotes (legal tender) to at least two different central banks in at least two different currencies during the last five years. References on the delivery of commemorative banknotes and production of house notes will not be taken into consideration. References on the delivery of EUR banknotes to two different central banks will be regarded as one currency, despite the fact that they are delivered to different central banks.
  • Criteria for selection among the suitable candidates. The shortlisting of candidates invited to tender will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries, in relation to the main supplies put up for tender The relevance assessment will be made on the basis of the extent to which the references, combined, document experience in the provision of supplies that are comparable to the main supplies put up for tender. In the evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant supplies, the contracting entity will award points to the candidates on a scale from 1-5 for each main supply, based on the extent to which the references, combined, document relevant experience in providing the main supplies. On this basis, the candidate will be awarded a total score calculated as the average number of points awarded for the main supplies. In the selection, the contracting entity will place particular emphasis on the following: • That the candidate can document production of banknotes (legal tender) in compliance with an environmental management standard that requires the implementation of an environmental management system equivalent to ISO 14001:2015 attested by an independent body • That the candidate can document experience with reprint of a banknote series (legal tender) previously produced and/or designed by another banknote producer • That the candidate can document experience with the production of banknotes (legal tender) in compliance with a security management standard that requires the implementation of a security management system equivalent to ISO 14298 attested by an independent body
