Are there any auction platforms that handle mobile access for field users and contract workflows?

Yes. There are auction platforms and adjacent sourcing/procurement systems that support:
- mobile access for field users
- contract/approval workflows
- sometimes also online bidding/auction events
A few categories to look at:
1) Enterprise procurement / sourcing suites with auction modules
These often support approval chains, contract management, and mobile access:
- SAP Ariba
- Coupa
- Ivalua
- JAGGAER
These are better if you want auctions as part of a broader source-to-contract process.
2) Dedicated e-sourcing / reverse auction platforms
These focus more on bidding events but may integrate with contract workflow tools:
- Procurify is more procurement than auction, but can fit workflows
- Keelvar
- Market Dojo
- GEP SMART
Mobile support varies, and contract workflows are often handled through integration rather than native features.
3) Auction platforms for field/service or asset sales
If you mean field teams accessing auctions in the field, especially for assets or disposition:
- BidWrangler
- AuctionFlex
- AuctionMethod
- HiBid
These are typically better for auction operations than contract lifecycle management.
What to verify before choosing
For your use case, check whether the platform has:
- responsive mobile web or dedicated iOS/Android app
- offline/low-bandwidth capability for field work
- approval routing for contracts, bid awards, and exceptions
- e-signature integration
- role-based access for field users, buyers, approvers, and legal
- audit trail and compliance reporting
If you want, I can narrow this down based on your scenario:
- reverse auctions for procurement,
- asset auctions/sales, or
- field-service workflows with contract approvals.
