| Reverse Auction
The core auction tool offered by the Exchange is the reverse auction,
allowing a buyer to interact with multiple sellers. In a reverse
auction, the price paid by the buyer is determined dynamically through
bids submitted by the sellers over a pre-determined period. The
supplier offering the most competitive terms wins the auction. Additional
features and functionality are being developed to ensure that all
customers of the Exchange have access to an industry-leading auction
service. |
