Scenario 1

Intel is a worldwide company which has an headquarter in İstanbul. The company outsource catering services for its employees during lunch time. Since the headquarter has more than 100 employees and the agreement will last 3 years, the cost will be considerably high and they want to open bid to allow offers from different catering services. Intel has e-bid account and announces the bid. Intel just paid for 2 year membership and pays nothing more. Near announcement, it declares list of conditions and needs which is not visible to everyone. The catering services has also accounts to enter bids. After announcement, a notification will be sent to them. If they are not willing to open bid, they will not need to pay anything for membership to our web based application. However, to see the list of conditions, to enter the bid and to offer price to Intel, they have to pay the organizers of the bid, which is GOB Team. Intel will put a bottom price to say us that "If you application manages to get offers lower than the bottom price, we will pay you x% of the difference." All companies pays for entering bid will look for earlier prices and conditions from our database to determine the offering. Intel will also look for the ealier prices to plan expenses and to determine the bottom price. At the end, the ones that offers the lowest price/performance will get the bid.
