awardCriteria: Allowing awardCriteria in Tender? #54

Closed ColinMaudry closed 5 years ago

ColinMaudry commented 5 years ago

Both TED and eForms apply award criteria at lot level.

However, there may non-EU cases where a procedure is not allotted and the data publisher doesn't want to use the "virtual" lot approach*. For these cases, supporting the attachment of awardCriteria to Tender could be relevant.

* The creation of a single Lot object in tender.lots to have certain properties only in tender.lots, and not in tender, regardless of the existence of lots in the procurement procedure

open-contracting/standard#891 is to discuss whether publishers will need to use lots, whether they want to or not. I describe what the concept of 'Lot' is intended to mean in OCDS in a couple comments here: https://github.com/open-contracting/standard/issues/888#issuecomment-516972841 It's not meant to only match 'real' lots.

For this issue, I prefer to only extend Lot until we have a real demand to extend Tender.
