A system for developing and using a request for transaction framework
including a framework engine configured to enable a market maker to
develop a request for transaction for a particular market, and a request
for transaction engine configured to enable an organization within the
relevant market to prepare a request for transaction relating to a
resource requirement and select a response relating to the resource
requirement. In a preferred embodiment, the market maker creates a
request for transaction framework by manipulating attribute parameters
and identifying an analysis framework. A request for transaction
framework may be a request for proposal framework, a request for quote
framework, or other type of framework in which there is a request
followed by a plurality of responses and a selection of one of the
responses.
