The guide comprises various sections which include basic information (such as what design is and what it contributes); dynamics (how it is contracted and how much it costs); the types of design that can be contracted; the different procurement formulas; the legislation in force on the subject; downloadable materials, such as different briefing models; and articles by leading professionals of the sector such as Xènia Viladàs, Nacho Lavernia and Manuel Lecuona. Furthermore, it includes a specific section dedicated to public procurement processes.
The project also includes studies and analyses that support the contribution of design to the innovation, competitiveness and internationalisation of organisations, case studies of the real successes of companies that, either qualitatively or quantitatively, share their positive experiences with this sector, and interesting links.
The web platform has been developed by Copymouse, a design cooperative with a track record of more than 10 years.
