Missing field: procurementMethodDetails

[timgdavies]

From open-contracting-archive/implementation-and-extensions#2

At the moment procurementMethod is a closed codelist, with values for open, selective and limited.

Any implementation should attempt to map the classifications of contract awards to this codelist - as knowing when things are open, selective or limited is important to many users.

However, many countries have much more detailed lists of procurement types, usually country-specific.

Adding a new procurementMethodDetails would seem like a natural property for us to add, to parallel awardMethodDetails for this information.

procurementMethodDetail already exists in the 1.0 docs. It appears it was a schema error that it's not in the schema.

@timgdavies do you mean procurementMethodRationale? We are not aware of procurementMethodDetail in the 1.0 docs, but we agree with the rationale and support its creation. We often run into cases where the procurementMethod's closed codelist lacks sufficient specificity for our government cases.

Sorry - I used the wrong docs link. At the bottom of this page you find procurementMethodDetails mentioned, and disambiguated from procurementMethodRationale.

Fixed in 1.0.2 release which is now live.
