It should be noted that\n the indicated term of the agreement will commence on signature of the contract.
In\n addition to the indicated duration of contract, an expiry phase that is flexible in\n time will be required when the contract is at an end in order to ensure an undisturbed\n continuation of production of banknotes in connection with a possible re-tender.

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