Volume bonuses
Explanation:
My confidence level is pretty low, but it sounds like bonuses for larger-scale companies (or more strongly-positioned companies) should be granted.

Maybe key-customer bonuses or the like would fit too --

I thought of \"performance bonuses\" too, but it sounds like the bonuses would just be based on the size or strength of a company coming in.
