Proposer @charlieclarke5 on behalf of an NGB and grassroots provider

Use Case As a provider using an OA-enabled booking system, I want to be able to list the exact amount of available equipment, and exactly what equipment, I have available to be used, and during the booking process, a participant be able to pre-book the equipment they will need from the available. Examples would be an instructor who has a certain number of mats (e.g. 10 mats), but can accept up to 12 attendees (2 would need to bring their own), or a cycling provider who has 10 bikes, but an unlimited number of participants can attend if they bring their own bike.

As a participant who wants to do Yoga or Cycling (using the above examples) I want to be able to filter opportunities that provide the equipment, otherwise the majority of results will be irrelevant to me as I won't have access to the equipment needed.

Why is this not covered by existing properties? Slots available doesn't match the equipment available, and SuggestedEquipment is simply a suggestion based text submission.

Proposal Include a standardised list of equipment options that can be picked from when a provider is creating their opportunity, so that a select from list filter can be established for the participant to use on the exact equipment they need made available.

Payment for additional equipment not being recommended as part of the suggestion to avoid booking complexity beyond an integar value of equipment left. Assumed that most providers of equipment do so on a free basis.
