Greek term or phrase: βήμα των ηλεκτρονικών πλειστηριασμών
I am translating a Tender Notice and I cam across the following definition:

"Το βήμα του Πλειστηριασμού είναι η ελάχιστη επιτρεπτή βελτίωση της τιμής εκκίνησης του Πλειστηριασμού ή της προηγούμενης προσφοράς του Οικονομικού Φορέα."

I would appreciate your help with the translation into English of the expression "βήμα του πλειστηρισμού". Thank you in advance.
