Abstract: Embodiments extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for facilitating the formation of location-sensitive service contracts between consumers and service providers. At the request of a consumer, an auction for a service is created. The auction specifies categorical selections that describe the type of work to be performed and a geographical location at which the service is to be performed. The auction is presented to service providers based on geographical proximity of the service providers to the location at which the service is to be performed and a comparison of the categorical selections with qualification data for the service providers. Bids are received from the service providers, and a winning service provider is determined. The consumer and the winning service provider form a service contract. Subsequently, it is determine that the consumer has paid the winning service provider for performance of the service contract.
