A system and method of allocating a conditional purchase offer for a product
or
service to one of a plurality of entities in a buyer-driven system. The conditional
purchase offer for the product or service in a specified relevant market area is
received and at least one of the plurality of entities capable of satisfying the
conditional purchase offer are identified. A first-look opportunity to accept the
conditional purchase offer is allocated to one of the identified entities and,
if it is determined that that entity cannot accept the conditional purchase offer,
then a second-look opportunity to accept the conditional purchase offer is provided
to one of the remaining entities. The opportunity to accept the offer is provided
to each entity according to the allocation until an entity accepts the conditional
purchase offer or no eligible entities remain.
