The system must be in use at multiple central banks around the world, ensuring mutual experience -" and competence-sharing in further development of the system. This aspect is of major importance to the CBI; therefore, Suppliers'' ability to show a sturdy and stable business concept with a proper product roadmap for the future will be strongly valued.If, following the PQP, an Invitation to Tender (ITT) is issued, Rikiskaup intends to accept the most economically advantageous tender received from the ITT, taking into consideration economic, technical, and risk factors that are advantageous from the point of view of the CBI.
