Its like an electronic component price comparison database which has the parts, prices and descriptions of everything in RS Components, Maplin, Farnell, CPC, Digi-Key, etc. You just type in the part number for anything, or the description and it tells you the equivalent part number and price from all the other suppliers.
It shows where two suppliers sell exactly the same product, or similar products and you can gauge which supplier best suits the quantities you need.
Could be a straight-forward SQL implementation, probly MySQL, with tons of information. RS alone carries 100,000 products. Would need to be just UK based to start with.
I wonder if you could get a grant or something from the UK's industry government thingi.
Once its established you could charge a levy to all the main suppliers to be carried, and maybe a lower levy or free to smaller suppliers.
