On 8 September 2014, the Bank announced that De La Rue had been identified as the "preferred bidder" for the banknote printing contract. The Bank has subsequently completed assurance activity on De La Rue’s bid and finalised the contract. The final decision to award the contract to De La Rue was taken by the Court of the Bank of England. This completes the formal public procurement process for the printing of the Bank’s banknotes which began in November 2012.
