Customer and Vendor plugin

Hi,

I’m trying to make a certain feature on my website where:
1) Customers can register
2) “Vendors” can register
Each have their own custom dashboard and account types with certain features the other doesn’t have.
In theory, the customer would make an account and publish a listing (requesting a quote for a service, nothing is actually sold online). The vendors now, from their dashboards, could see this listing, and bid on it.
The customer could privately message each vendor who has quoted on their bidding and view their vendor’s profile until they decide which vendor they want to take up. Up until then, they can only contact through the site, and any attempt to share on email, phone number or any other mode of 3rd Party contact would be censored/blacklisted.
Once the client has accepted a vendor’s quote, they make a payment to the site, which gives the vendor the client’s information and at that point the blacklist on contact information is removed for that particular vendor.

I know that was a lot but if it can theoretically be done by a particular plugin or some other method (as in it has all those features) please let me know. I’ve tried a few plugins and they’ve each fallen short in one way or another. I haven’t tried Woocommerce because I don’t know which extensions I would need since the basic one certainly can’t do that. Thank you for your time.
