THE SYSTEM WILL BE AN ONLINE EPROCUREMENT PLATFORM, IMPLENENTED USING OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
AND CUSTOMISED TO SUPPORT THE MAIN REQUIREMENTS AND WORKFLOW OUTLINE BELOW

VERY ROUGH PROJECT OUTLINE
------------------------------

1. MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR WHICH OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM TO USE
(SEE THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS BY SEARCHING ONLINE FOR OPEN SOURCE E PROCUREMENT/TENDERING SOFTWARE 
such as vprocure
EXAMPLE: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tendersystem/
 RATIONALE FOR CHOICE SHOULD BE: OFFERS THE REQUIRED FEATURES, SIMPLEST AND LIGHTEST SYSTEM TO DEPLOY AND MAINTAIN)

2.  CUSTOMISE THE IMPLEMENTATION AS FOLLOWS
    1. ENABLE WORKFLOW  *see below
    2. CUSTOMIZE DESIGN AND GUI - see separate mockup to follow


3. MAIN REQUIREMENTS AND FUNCTIONS

-  USERS CREATE ACCOUNT  (TWO TYPES OF ACCOUNTS, EITHER A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT OR A SUPPLIER ACCOUNT)

=  A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT SHOULD CONTAINT  GENERAL PROFILE  ATTRIBUTE (TYPE OF CUSTOMER (company or individual, company type, location etc) CONTACT DETAILS, TYPE OF JOB.....NUMBER OF JOBS POSTED, SUPPLIER FEEDBACK ETC)

-  A SUPPLIER ACCOUNT SHOULD CONTAIN GENERAL PROFILE (TYPE OF SUPPLIER, size, location, skills, equipment they have, CONTACT DETAILS,  TYPE OF JOB.... NUMBER OF JOBS STARTED AND NUMBER OF JOBS DELIVERED, CUSTOMER FEEDBACK ETC)
note" this function is similar to freelancer.com

-  BOTH USERS MUST SELECT A 'TYPE OF JOB' PREFERENCE IN THEIR PROFILE (1.JOB BASED ON OPEN DESIGN  2. JOB SPEC IS BASED ON PROPRIETARY DESIGN 3. BOTH

-  CUSTOMER ACCOUNT WORKFLOW:  ( CUSTOMER SHOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE AND POST JOB SPECIFICATION , SELECT SOME DESIRABLE SUPPLIER ATTRIBUTES SUCH AS SKILLS, LOCATION, LANGUAGE ETC- ENTER TEXT, UPLOAD DOCUMENTS TO THE POST, THESE COULD BE DRAWINGS)

= ALL SUPPLIERS WHO MATCH THE ATTRIBUTES SPECIFIED BY THE CUSTOMERS, TO BE NOTIFIED OF NEW JOB POSTING 

=  SUPPLIERS WHO QUALIFY (WHO MATCH THE ATTRIBUTES SPECIFIED BY THE CUSTOMER) CAN BID TO FULFIL THE JOB SPECIFICATION OFFERING
-  PRICE, TIME OF DELIVERY AND OFFERING QUALITY ASSURANCE 

-  CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER NEGOTIATE TERMS FOR PROJECT COMPLETION AND AGREE TO VARIOUS POLICIES *POLICIES FOLLOW

=  AFTER THE CUSTOMER AWARDS THE PROJECT TO THE PREFERRED SUPPLIER, THEY BOTH ENTER AN AGREEMENT WHERE THEY AGREE TO A WORK SCHEDULE (HOW MANY ITERATIONS THE SUPPLIER IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE THE WORK ETC) AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
-  AFTER THEY ARE BOTH SATISFIED WTTH THE AGREED SCHEDULE, FULL PAYMENT IS MADE TO THE PLATFORM BY THE CUSTOMER FOR THE ORDER, 
-  ONLY 10% IS TRANSFERRED TO THE SUPPLIER (NON REFUNDABLE) TO COMMENCE THE WORK
-  BOTH CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER SHARE A COLLABORATION SPACE WHERE THE SUPPLIERS SHARES DESIGNS, DRAFTS, POSTS QUESTIONS AND COMMUNICATION TO PROGRESS THE PROJECT
- AT THE COMPLETION OF EACH SUCCESSFUL ITERATION, THE SUPPLIERS RECEIVES 10% OF THE TOTAL PAYMENT, FOR A TOTAL OF 5 ITEREATIONS
- IF CUSTOMER IS NOT SATISFIED AT ANY POINT, WITHDRAWS THE CONTRACT AND PROCEEDS WITH ANOTHER SUPPLIER
-  AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF 5 ITERATIONS, (AND PAYMENT OF 50% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST)
    A) CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THE COMPLETE PROTOTYPE AND APPROVES THE FINAL PAYMENT  TO THE SUPPLIER (COMPLETED SATISFACORILY)
    B) or  CUSTOMER  DOES NOT ACCEPT THE COMPLETE PROTOTYPE BUT APPROVES FINAL PAYMENT TO OBTAIN FULL RIGHTS TO THE PROTOTYPE (COMPLETED BUT NOT SATISFIED)
    C) CUSTOMER DOES NOT ACCEPT THE  PROTOTYPE, AND EITHER MOVES ON WITH ANOTHER SUPPLIER (KEEP THE PAYMENT IN THE PLATFORM JUST FIND ANOTHER SUPPLIER)  or OBTAINS A 50% REFUND OF THE INITIAL FULL PAYMENT THEY MADE
