What should be the form of such umbrella organization?
A cooperative, I suppose is the best suited. Has worked for a variety of such initiatives in India in the past (Amul is the best known example).
Publicize LUG and get requirements to be posted on a ILUG-Commercial or something. Whoever is qualified and interested can then bid directly. Let the customer get the benefit of cost and decide on quality. Why should an open-source list that's mostly for fun get into commercial agreements. However let it facilitate.
