How Open Service Works

A revolutionary marketplace that transforms how government services are delivered to citizens.

1

Service Definition

Government defines exact service requirements, quality standards, and budgets. Citizens can comment on and help refine these specifications.

2

Competitive Bidding

Service providers—both private companies and public agencies—submit competitive bids to deliver services at the best possible value.

3

Performance Tracking

All providers are measured against clear performance metrics in real-time. Citizens can view exactly how services are performing against targets.

4

Citizen Feedback

Citizens rate and review services directly. Poor performers face contract termination, while high performers receive bonuses and contract extensions.
