We are an engineering firm that needs to create an area on the opportunity similar to Partners. We need a list of 6-8 account look up fields, associating a specific contact with that account, a bid amount field and then finally the ability to mark which contractor was awarded the job.

 

Is there anyway to clone partners and then customize it?  If not, any suggestions on an easy way to create this?
