Documentation
Adds fields to the Tender and Lot objects to describe the options for the renewal of contracts.
Legal context
In the European Union, this extension's fields correspond to eForms BT-57 (Renewal Description). For correspondences to Tenders Electronic Daily (TED), see OCDS for the European Union.
Guidance
If the number of times a contract can be renewed is an exact number and not a range, set minimumRenewals
and maximumRenewals
to the same number.
