We want it to be accessible through the web browser specifically
Internet Explorer on Windows 2003 Server. We want them to initially
build it using WinForm i.e. no browser just a windows application. How
difficult will it be to convert a windows application to a WebForm? Are
there points that we need to keep in mind? Is webform or winform the
right thing to do for this?

If you believe you want a web app in the end, why would you get them to
develop a Windows Forms to start with? There are many design decisions
which will bite you if you try to just port from a WinForms app to a
web app. Furthermore there are plenty of areas of design and
implementation where you really want web app expertise, but that may
not come with Windows Forms expertise.

I suggest you ask them to build a web app right from the start. That
way they won't be trimming a square peg to fit in a round hole.
