I'm somehow clueless as well... because I never had to learn it.
And I pay my bills programming MCU. But that should be a clue about how 
much these solutions are requested and popular.

Probably there is some way to "transparently" use Bluetooth for tcp/ip 
transfer over android... but and this is my guess, then you won't be 
able to entrust the development of the web app to a "web agency".

Most embedded MCU manufacturers will give you some libraries to use 
Bluetooth tethering.

Somehow this second part may be the cheapest in terms of programming and 
logistics. After all your C/C++ programmer know the hardware, the 
platform, know how to code in C/C++, know the library ecosystem even it 
may or may not know the specific library, hə is autonomous, his work is 
self contained...
