        </cac:TenderingCriterionProperty>
        (...)
</cac:SubsidiaryTenderingCriterionPropertyGroup>
(...)
xml

This case of use has to be interpreted by the software application that displays the ESPDRequest document so the [eo] can select which REQUIREMENT_SUBGROUP is shown and provide an answer to it. Taking this into consideration:

  1. The value of boolean-gui-control will be used by the application software to display either the REQUIREMENT for "Description of the economic or financial requirement" or the REQUIREMENT for "Minimum rating".

  2. In this case the value for boolean-gui-control is RADIO_BUTTON_TRUE. This will display REQUIREMENT for "Description of the economic or financial requirement" as defaul since the following cac:SubsidiaryTenderingCriterionPropertyGroup is defined with cbc:PropertyGroupTypeCode value=ONTRUE.

1.3. country

The following xml code is an example of use of code list country in a cac:ContractingParty element of ESPDRequest.

<cac:Party>
