Why not use the same app the vendors use. Everyone can build their own version of petmarket.

All this bakeoff would do is provide metrics for comparison. Each metric would have a different level of importance to each person evaluating the bakeoff. Further, I would suspect that once the results of the bakeoff are in, others would attempt to recreate the results producing more data.
