Notably, the working group that created this guideline comprises multiprofessional teams, including psychologists, school social workers, and pastoral care staff, ensuring a well-rounded perspective.

The guide's primary objective is to help public procurers create tender specifications that are fair, transparent, and unbiased. By avoiding specific brand mentions, it promotes equal opportunities for all manufacturers during the procurement process.
