His goal was the reunification of the Nordic region under his rule: a renewed Kalmar Union. Along

225-597: A predicted total saving of DKK 100 million over the years until 2020 by outsourcing production to external suppliers. The decision did not affect the bank's position as the issuing authority of Danish currency or its role in designing coins and banknotes. The bank issued an invitation to tender for the production of coinage in December 2015, and announced in May 2016 that a bid by the Mint of Finland had been selected as "most advantageous" on

270-595: A secret war by Danish privateers. At that time the position of the Hansabund was slowly but steadily declining because of changes in trade routes and the growing opposition against the Hanseatic League in the Northern European naval states. John's domestic policies were marked by economic support of the Danish merchants and by the widespread use of commoners as officials or even as councillors, something which angered

315-662: A short and effective military campaign, defeating Sten Sture at the Battle of Rotebro after having undermined his position by winning over most of the Swedish nobility. Sten surrendered to King John in Stockholm and was reconciled with him. John was crowned King of Sweden, and Sten was given the highest position of authority in Sweden below the King. In 1500, John made an attempt at conquering Dithmarschen (in today's Schleswig-Holstein ), an area which

360-460: A standard pre-qualification questionnaire, for example the UK government has developed standard core PQQ questions which have been revised several times and are mandated for use across government, and has also stipulated that PQQs should not be used by central government contracting bodies when procuring goods or services valued less than the threshold values set by UK procurement legislation. A tender box

405-414: A supplier questionnaire (SQ) or pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ). Unlike a request for proposal (RFP), which is used when a company sources for business proposals , ITTs are used when a government or company does not require the submission of an original business proposal and is looking solely to award a contract based on the best tender submitted. As a result, whereas ITTs are often decided based on

450-413: A two-stage process; the first stage comprises issuing an expression-of-interest (EOI) tender call, resulting in a shortlist of selected suitable vendors. The reasons for using restricted tenders differ in scope and purpose. Sole source tenders involve only one potential supplier being invited to submit a tender. A sole source tender may be used where there is essentially only one suitable supplier of

495-418: Is a mailbox used to receive the physical tender or bid documents, or a digital equivalent. The tender box is not implemented in every country around the world. A tender validity date is a date until which a tenderer commits to keeping their prices (and other tender details) open for acceptance (or otherwise) by the client. Such a date is usually included in a form of tender, either as a specified date or as

540-460: Is applicable to proposals of different quality within the limits set. Under this the proposals are graded according to their price for value and the contract is awarded to the one with the best grade. Similar to this is the grading of the proposals according to time, making the proposals needing less time of implementation seem more valuable. One of the proposed for public tenders within the EU. The contract

585-480: Is awarded to a bid close to the mean value of the proposals received. This may apply to procurements where numerous proposals are expected and there is a need for a market-representing value. Under this method the proposals that are deviating the most from the mass of the proposals are excluded and then the procedure continues with one of the above methods. There are also many variants and/or combinations of these main methods. Upon completion of tender evaluation it

630-517: Is often used in India. The European Union 's institutions often use the terms "calls for tenders" and "calls for expressions of interest". Open tenders (also known as open calls for tenders or advertised tenders) are open to all vendors or contractors who can guarantee performance. Restricted tenders (also known as restricted calls for tenders or invited tenders) are only open to selected pre-qualified vendors or contractors. The tender stage may form part of

Gotfred Krüger, who was the king's mint master from 1664 to 1680, acquired a property in Borgergade in 1671 while the production of coins took place in a neighbouring building. This lasted until 1749 when it was sold. The Mint Master's House was dismantled in 1943 and put into storage. It has now been rebuilt in the Old Town open-air museum in Aarhus . It

Together with his brother Frederick, John then carried out a large-scale campaign with the Black Guard, but the Ditmarsians under Wulf Isebrand 's command caught most of the Guard in a trap at the Battle of Hemmingstedt after having opened

765-529: The Danish nobility and the Hanseatic cities, especially Lübeck . In 1509, with the Netherlands acting as arbiter, Sweden agreed to a declaration which recognised John as king of Sweden in principle, but he was never allowed into Stockholm as long as he lived, nor crowned king of Sweden anew. Meanwhile, Norwegian attempts at opposition were strangled by John's son Prince Christian (afterward King Christian II ), who

810-648: The Norwegian Council of the Realm commit to electing Christian's eldest son as next king of Norway upon his death. A similar declaration was made in Sweden. In 1467, John was hailed as successor to the throne in Denmark. John used the title heir to the throne of Norway, in line with Norway's old status as a hereditary kingdom , but this was a claim the Norwegian Council did not immediately recognise. Consequently, upon King Christian's death in May 1481, John's position

855-606: The Nyhavn Bridge, was demolished in the early 1870s to make way for the establishment of the new street when the entire Gammelholm area was redeveloped. A new building for the Mint was completed on the corner of Holbergsgade and Herluf Trolles Gade in 1873. The building, which still exist today, was designed by Ferdinand Meldahl , who was also resonnsible for the overall planning of the neighbourhood, in collaboration with City Architect Ludvig Fenger . Special coins were from 1894 made by

900-476: The Royal Mint relocated to the nearby grounds of the former St. Clare's Monastery , which had been confiscated in 1536 when Denmark officially became a Lutheran nation.

990-623: The best price offered, decisions on RFPs may also involve other considerations such as technology and innovation. Both are forms of reverse auction . At the same time, variants may be requested in an ITT, which allow suppliers to offer proposals which differ in non-essential terms from the supplies or services requested. The European Commission has suggested that requesting variants is one way in which suppliers can be asked to offer more socially responsible solutions to meeting public needs. Public sector organisations in many countries are legally obliged to release tenders for works and services. In

1035-415: The coin with the lowest denomination in circulation is the 50 øre coin. The rest of the circulating coins have denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 krone.

Goldschmidt Holding and has been converted into youth housing (150 units) and commercial space (23 offices). In 1975 the Danish government placed

1125-535: The dykes of the low-land area and flooded the narrow main road. Thus John's attempt to subject the Ditmarsian free peasants to feudalism ended for time being. The defeat in the Battle of Hemmingstedt on 17 February 1500 hurt John's prestige and in 1501, Sweden renounced him as king. John fought an increasingly more bitter war against Sten Sture and his successor Svante Nilsson , and this conflict meant frictions with both

1170-441: The grounds of cost, security, and quality. Production started in 2017, with an initial contract term of four years. This was renewed for another four years in 2020, extending the term until May 2025. 55°40′36″N 12°35′10″E  /  55.6766°N 12.5862°E  / 55.6766; 12.5862 John, King of Denmark John, also known as Hans ( né   Johannes ; 2 February 1455 – 20 February 1513),

John guaranteed for its safe conduct first southeastwards via Lunenburg-Cellean Winsen upon Luhe and Hoopte, crossing

1260-572: The late king's sons as co-dukes. Although it was initially agreed they should govern the duchies jointly, at the majority of Frederick (in 1490) the duchies were nevertheless divided.

1350-492: The majority of cases, these are listed on their websites and traditional print media. Electronic procurement and tendering systems or e-procurement are also increasingly prevalent. The European Union states that 235,000 calls for tender are issued annually using its Tenders Electronic Daily system, including those issued by countries in the European Economic Area and beyond.

1440-609: The nobility. The most important of his initiatives was perhaps establishing a permanent Danish navy, one which came to play a role during his later years. According to the Privilege of Ribe the Noble Diets of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein were to elect a duke among the sons of the previous duke. Many nobles in Schleswig and Holstein preferred John's much younger brother Frederick , but John successfully argued for electing both

1485-445: The peace. In his own age, and partly to posterity, John has often appeared a "commoner's king", a jolly and plain man with a folksy manner. Behind the surface, however, he seems to have been a hard realist and a zealous political calculator. In many ways he is a Scandinavian parallel of Louis XI of France and Henry VII of England . In 1513, King John died at Aalborghus Castle a short time after being thrown from his horse. King John

1530-482: The proposition method asked by the procurement management: This method is the simplest and oldest of all. Under this the procurement contract is awarded to the best price.

1620-478: The services or product. Tenders have a bid preparation period available to bidders. Research has shown that the length of this period might affect the number of bids and, as a result, the level of competition among tenderers. Supplier questionnaires or pre-qualification questionnaires ensure that potential suppliers are all asked the same information when assessing their suitability to be invited to tender or to have their tenders evaluated. Some organisations issue

1665-514: The termination of a specified period from another key tender date. For example, in tendering for gym equipment in 2013, West Dunbartonshire Council required tenderers to accept that "Your tender shall remain open for acceptance for ninety (90) days from the date for return of tenders indicated above, or any subsequent date notified to you by us. Your tender may be accepted by us at any time during this period." There are several different methods for available for tender evaluation, which are related to

1710-655: The three sections is intricately carved and gilded . It survived the iconoclastic fervour of the Protestant Reformation perhaps because of its connection with the royal burials.

1755-932: The throne but was deposed in 1523. John's bloodline eventually returned to the Danish and Norwegian thrones in the person of Christian IV of Denmark , the great-great-grandson of his daughter, Electress Elisabeth. John's full title as King of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway was: King of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Wends and the Goths, Duke of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn and Dithmarschen, Count of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst< ref> Kong Hans (Diplomatarium Norvegicum) </ref> In 1478, John married Christina of Saxony , daughter of Elector Ernst of Saxony and Elisabeth of Bavaria .

Jørgen Nybo Rasmussen has argued that

1800-534: The way from Copenhagen to Kalmar, John's flagship , Gribshunden , suffered an explosion and sank at anchor near the town of Ronneby. John was not aboard at the time; he survived and continued on to Kalmar. However, Sten Sture repeatedly delayed his own arrival, and Hans finally abandoned the summit in August to return exhausted to Copenhagen. Direct diplomacy had failed, so John turned to other means to achieve his ambition. On 6 October 1497, John conquered Sweden during

1845-487: Was a Scandinavian monarch who ruled under the Kalmar Union . He was King of Denmark from 1481 to 1513, King of Norway from 1483 to 1513, and King of Sweden (where he has also been called Johan II ) from 1497 to 1501.

1890-470: Was at Borgergade that the practice began of printing a heart on Danish coins. It is unclear whether this symbol originally signified the mint master family or the locality but since the initials CW for Winekes are often found next to it on coins from the time, the latter is assumed to be the case. In 1749, at Nyhavn , a new Mint was established in the royal mews to the rear of Charlottenborg Palace . The buildings, which were located where Holbersgade crosses

1935-531: Was buried in the church of the Franciscan friary in Odense . Queen Christina, who lived the latter part of her life in a nunnery in Odense, commissioned the famous German sculptor Claus Berg to create a magnificent burial chapel, where both she and her husband were laid to rest after her death in 1521.

Between 1510 and 1512, the king fought a last war with both Sweden and Lübeck in which Denmark was at first very pressed but, with the help of the Scottish Barton brothers , partly turned the tables with a naval offensive. The result concerning Sweden was the status quo, but Lübeck suffered a real political and economic setback by

2025-641: Was unchallenged in Denmark, whereas in Norway the Council of the Realm assumed royal authority, and an interregnum ensued. No serious rival candidates to the Norwegian throne existed, but the council was determined to demonstrate Norway's status as a sovereign kingdom. A meeting between the Councils of Denmark, Sweden and Norway was appointed for 13 January 1483 at Halmstad , to work out the terms for electing John as king—his håndfæstning . The Swedish Council failed to turn up at
