What is the Monster.com for posting consulting work?

Question

There are so many sites out there (Monster, Indeed, etc) that are focused on matching employers with employees, contract work up through FTE. Are there any sites out there dedicated to trying to match up firms that have projects they want to have consulting firms bid on, with the consulting firms that can do that work? If not, seems like a market worth inventing.

I think it's a great idea. There are definitely job boards out there for freelancers already, (servicescrape, guru, upwork, freelancer), but for actual consulting firms, seems like it doesn't exist.
The current situation is like this.
I am a company in need of a consulting firm to do some project. Lets say hardware engineering.
One of two things happen: 1. I use google search and look up "hardware engineering firm". I then see 2-3 that meet my criteria and I set up calls with them. Go from there. 2. My company has a long history of using one of the big consulting firms. Let's say Deloitte. Since I don't want to rock the boat, I'm just going to set the job up with Deloitte. Deloitte is then going to source a hardware engineering firm and act as an intermediary.
It's really dumb, but that's how it is.
The primary issue I see with your idea is that a lot of projects that companies want consulting firms to work on are actually confidential. They don't want that to be public. It would have to be a mostly 1 sided marketplace, where consulting firms make profiles, and prospective clients can easily sort through them to find a firm that makes sense for their specific project.
