Tender for the Delivery of 2 Denominations of Faroese Banknotes

Reference Number : TS 173804

Danmarks Nationalbank is the Central Bank of Denmark. Danmarks Nationalbank's purpose is to ensure stable prices, safe payments and a stable financial system.

Main Site : K0benhavn K

Danmarks Nationalbank (hereinafter the Contracting Authority) decided to discontinue internal printing/production of banknotes by the end of 2016. Like a number of other central banks, the Contracting Authority has outsourced this function to an external supplier.

The Contracting Authority will still be the issuing authority of banknotes in Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland and will retain its expertise within banknote design and quality.

The monetary unit in Faroe Islands is the Faroese kronur. The current denominations of Faroese banknotes are: 50 kronur, 100 kronur, 200 kronur, 500 kronur and 1 000 kronur.

With this procurement, the Contracting Authority expects to enter into a contract on the production and delivery of 100 and 500 kronur Faroese banknotes. Thus, the supplier shall be responsible for all productions steps in the production of banknotes, including printing, security feature integration, numbering, packaging, upgrade of banknotes and provision of the security paper.

The banknotes shall be produced at a security printing works with a printing machine equipped with a least 4 wet printing units for the front and 4 wet printing units for the revers (4 + 4 wet offset printing units). This is to guarantee that the very fine lines of the existing banknotes can be reproduced by the supplier in order to maintain the existing visual appearance of the banknotes. The used origination files will be delivered in Jura Layout/Corvina and shall be returned to the Contracting Authority as Jura Layout/Corvina software files.

The Contracting Authority will purchase 4 800 000 banknotes in total dispersed on the 2 denominations during the term of the contract.

The supplier shall have a security organisation capable of ensuring delivery of Faroese banknotes according to the requirements in the contract in a secure manner. The contract will include further security requirements, for instance regarding the supplier's information systems, physical and electronic security, the supplier's organisation, temporary storage facilities and production of Faroese banknotes as well as requirements regarding the transportation of Faroese banknotes.

The Contracting Authority wish to receive Faroese Banknotes which are treated to ensure better durability through anti soiling properties.

However, since the Faroese Banknotes must feature the Motion thread(r) technology, it is a requirement that these anti soiling properties are ensured through a pre-treatment of the paper substrate.

The candidate must submit the European Single Procurement Document ("ESPD") with the following information:

The candidate's total annual turnover in the last three (3) financial years available.

The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity.

When submitting the tender, the pre-qualified Tenderers must submit documentation that the information in the ESPD is correct, cf. the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 154(2).

The Tenderer must submit the following documentation of economic and financial capacity:

A statement regarding the operator's overall turnover in the last three (3) financial years available depending on the date when the operator was set up or started trading, as far as the information on these turnovers is available.

For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information 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, sister company or a sub-contractor), the information must be submitted for these entities also.

Participation in the tendering procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system used by the Contracting Authority, see the address set out in section I.3). The tendering procedure is accessed under the tab "Ongoing public procedures". For access to the tender documents, the candidate must be registered or register as a user.

If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.

All communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers, must be through the electronic tendering system. Questions must be submitted not later than 16.10.2018. Questions asked after this date will be answered if they are received in time for the Contracting Authority to provide the information required and communicate the answers not later than 6 days before expiry of the application deadline. Questions received later than 6 days before expiry of the deadline cannot expect to be answered.

Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com, or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14.

The candidate must submit as its application an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1)(i-iii) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven). For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating operator. If the candidate relies on the capacity of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted for each of the entities on which the candidate relies.

The candidate will be excluded from participation in the tender procedure if the candidate is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, unless the candidate has submitted sufficient documentation of its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
