English term or phrase: direct vendor matchups
Am reposting this question as previous post went unanswered; see if I am lucky this time!

In a management development course, included as examples for writing and communication skill excercises in connection with statement of expectations:

"Expectation from the begining of the year: Win 50% of the ****direct vendor matchups***
...
Statement Draft: Achieved 58% of all direct vendor matchups
...
Suggested Improvement: Won 87 direct vendor matchups, 58% of the total count. This was a 20% improvement over previous years"

Could this be in relation to tenders?

Many thanks for your suggestions.
