Explanation:
I think the term refers to the fact that the business can obtain work in just 10 minutes. I haven't come across this term otherwise.

Example sentence(s):
  • The business can obtain services within the space of 10 minutes.

Explanation:
I'd turn the sentence around: companies/businesses can (be known to) spend no more than 10 minutes procuring services. Just my opinion.
