2.1 Procedure

Title : Tender for the puchase of a banknote processing system
Description : Danmarks Nationalbank is the central bank of Denmark and is an independent, self-governing institution established by law. One of the Customer's main objectives is promoting safe settlement of cash. This is done by issuing banknotes and coins and ensuring that payments can be settled between banks. The Customer has an exclusive right to issue Danish banknotes as legal tender within the territory of Denmark. The monetary unit in Denmark is the Danish krone. The current denominations of banknotes are 50 kroner, 100 kroner, 200 kroner, 500 kroner and 1,000 kroner. In a strategic move announced during a press conference on November 30. 2023, Danmarks Nationalbank revealed its initiatives to ensure the continued relevance of cash in Denmark, and it was decided that the 1000-krone banknote from the current series and a number of older banknotes will no longer be legal tender after 31 May 2025. The purpose of this tender is to establish a relation with a supplier that can supply and offer maintenance of a (1) banknote processing system. The overall tasks of the new banknote processing system are: 1. Authentication, sorting and destruction of unfit banknotes. 2. Quality check of banknotes in circulation. The banknote processing system shall be able to carry out the above-mentioned tasks in relation to some of the most recent Danish banknote series currently in circulation as further described in the Appendices. All interested tenderers are invited to at site visit held in Denmark on 30. Maj 2024, at 11.00 CET. More information in the tender documents.

All communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering system. Questions must be submitted not later than 18 June 2024, at 23.30 CET. Questions asked after this date will be answered if they are received in time for the contracting entity to provide the information required and communicate the answers not later than six days be fore expiry of the application deadline.

Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the tenderer encounters problems with the system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com , or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14. The tenderer must submit an ESPD with the tender as preliminary documentation of the circum stances set out in section 148(1), paras (1)-(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven). It is not necessary for the tenderer to sign the ESPD document. For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating operator. Where the tenderer is a group of operators, the ESPD document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question. The tenderer heading the group and submitting the tender is not required to sign its ESPD document. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which the tenderer relies. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the tenderer may submit to the contracting entity a certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. The contracting entity only accepts certificates of registration in an official list from tenderers estab lished in the country holding the official list. It should be noted that the amount is an estimate of the expected total contract price for all lots in the entire term of the supply contract and the 10 years of maintenance and support, including the price of all options. The contracting entity may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event that tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the tender documents. Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as amended which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies, etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition of the operators subject to the prohibition). The contracting entity reserves the right at any time during the tender process to require documentation from the economic operators proving that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation of the place of establishment and ownership of the economic operators and any sub contractors. It should be noted that the indicated term of the contract will commence on signature of the supply contracts. A site visit of the locations in which the banknote processing system and the banknote mass destruction system is to be placed will be possible. The site visit will take place on Thursday 30 May between 11.00 – 15.00 CET at Litauen Alle 1, 2630 Taastrup, Denmark. Tenderers wishing to participate in the site visit are asked to sign up via the electronic tendering system at least 2 days before the meeting with indication of name of business and number of participants.

During the site visit, the tenderers may ask questions directly related to the site visit and of no material significance to the tender procedure. Any other questions must be put in writing. The contracting entity will draw up brief minutes of the site visit which will be published via the electronic tendering system. The procurement is conducted subject to the achievement of the necessary funding basis.
