## Summary

The Bank of England has completed a tender process for the "2nd £20G Polymer Substrate Call-Off", aimed at supplying polymer substrate for the new £20 note. This tender was available exclusively to bidders accepted onto the associated Framework, initiated through a prior contract notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 24th March 2016. The contract period commenced on 1st February 2020 and is set to conclude on 30th June 2023. The tender ended on 15th November 2019 and falls under the goods procurement category, specifically classified as banknotes (CPV: 22430000), with deliveries destined for the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs, looking to expand within the financial and manufacturing sectors. Suppliers capable of providing high-quality banknote substrates will find this a valuable avenue, given the competition is limited to entities on the pre-established Framework. The successful award was divided between CCL Secure Limited, which received 75% of the total volume, and De La Rue, which received 25%. Companies with expertise in production and supply chain management in currency materials should strongly consider preparing for similar future tenders.
