Benchmark Study Sample Clauses

A Benchmark Study clause establishes the process and criteria for evaluating the performance, quality, or cost of goods or services against industry standards or comparable providers. Typically, this clause outlines how and when benchmarking will occur, who will conduct the study, and what metrics or benchmarks will be used for comparison. For example, it may allow either party to initiate a review of service levels or pricing to ensure competitiveness. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the contracted terms remain fair and competitive over time, providing a mechanism to address discrepancies and maintain value for both parties.

Benchmark Study. (a) Not less than once in each [*] period of the term of each Transaction Document commencing on the Commencement Date of each Transaction Document, Equifax may elect to have a benchmark study performed for the Services provided pursuant to each such Transaction Document or for any subset of such Services. The cost payable to a third party benchmark organization for the benchmark activity will be split equally by the Parties. The Parties will jointly designate and engage the third party benchmark organization. The benchmark study will focus on outsourcing services providers that regularly provide the full range of Services provided by EDS to the Equifax Group under the applicable Transaction Document and on the outsourcing engagements of those providers for substantially similar services in substantially similar quantities. (b) Each Transaction Document will set forth a price/performance value for the Services (including subset of the Services) provided under such Transaction Document and the scale or System against which such price/performance value was determined (the "Performance Value"). The Performance Value will be ----------------- either the Norm or an agreed deviation from the Norm, and the Parties shall exercise the rights and obligations described herein if EDS's overall performance rating with respect to the Services is not as good as the agreed upon Performance Value. For purposes of the Agreement, the "Norm" ---- shall be the average price/performance of all customers (both outsourced and non-outsourced customers) being compared during the benchmark study against the scale or system pursuant to which such customers were measured. (c) The result of each benchmark study will be submitted to the Integrated Planning Team. In the event that the benchmark study indicates that EDS's overall performance rating as compared to the applicable Performance Value rating for the benchmarked Services, or subset of the Services, under a Transaction Document is not as good as the Performance Value for such Services set forth in such Transaction Document, EDS will adjust its pricing on a prospective basis for the Services, or such subset of the Services, to meet the agreed Performance Value; provided, however, such adjustment will not forgive, compromise release or modify EDS's obligation to perform the Services in accordance with the Performance Standards and Minimum Service Levels. The benchmark study results may reduce but not increase the fees and charges f...

(b) The Benchmark Study will include a comparison of the costs of one or more Relevant Services to be specified by the Contracting Authority with the costs of comparable services in the market place. (c) The Benchmark Study must be carried out by an independent expert appointed by one of the Parties. The costs associated with the Benchmark Study will be borne by the Contracting Authority. (d) The Contracting Authority and the independent expert shall be entitled for purposes of the Benchmark Study to examine the Contractor’s costs and the costs of the Contractor’s Subcontractors and suppliers in regard to the Relevant Service and relevant ancillary costs. (e) All confidential business information shall be treated as such by the Contracting Authority and the independent expert. To this end, the Contracting Authority shall arrange for the independent expert to sign a nondisclosure agreement whose terms will have already been agreed to by the Contractor prior to the appointment of the independent expert. (f) The independent expert shall compare the costs per Payment Period in respect of a service that is comparable with each designated Relevant Service available on the market with the Contractor’s costs for the Relevant Service, as outlined in the subcontracting agreement(s) upon signature of the Agreement, and revised in accordance with: (i) the applicable indexation; (ii) Contracting Authority Changes if any; and (iii) changes in legislation and regulations, if applicable; these being the Corrected Original Costs. (g) The Contractor and the Contracting Authority are obliged to discuss the outcome of the Benchmark Study. (h) The Benchmark Study must be completed within 2 months and the ensuing discussion between the Parties must be completed within 1 month. (i) If the Contracting Authority and the Contractor jointly conclude with regard to the discussion referred to in Paragraph (g) that the Benchmark Study shows that the costs of a similar service in the market compared with the Relevant Service are lower than 95% of the Corrected Original Costs for the said Relevant Service, the Contractor shall pay the Contracting Authority as and from the Market Review Date to the next Market Review Date a sum per Payment Period equal to 50% of the difference between the Corrected Original Costs and the said market costs. (j) If the discussion referred to...

Benchmark Study. In 2014, MULU Worksite conducted a cross-sectional benchmark survey with worksite employees at 18 randomly selected worksites to assess HIV prevalence and risk behaviors among the worksite population. Employees were interviewed in three types of worksites: highly mobile mega-sites, semi-mobile large-scale sites, and less mobile stable worksites. A two-stage stratified sampling design was implemented, selecting worksites in the first stage and employees in the second stage. The primary sampling units were large-scale worksites (with populations 500 workers or more). A total of 1,285 interviews and 1,261 HIV tests with response rate of 95.2% and 98.1% of interview participants respectively were completed. The study population was predominantly male (86.8%), and two-thirds were below the age of 30. Key findings include: The HIV prevalence in the worksite population was found to be 2.1%, higher than 1.2% projected adult prevalence in the general population in Ethiopia from 2014. HIV prevalence varied across different segments of the worksite population and was higher among workers whose age was greater than 40 years (5.2%), those who were divorced or separated (10.5%). Among the study population, HIV prevalence was higher (7.5%) among those who had paid sex in the last three months than those who had not had paid sex (1.8%), p<0.05. Likewise, HIV prevalence was higher among those who had had sex with a casual partner in the last three months than those who didn't (p<0.001). The frequency of using drugs/khat also had a significant association with HIV prevalence (p<0.001). HIV prevalence was 17.6% among those who consumed drugs/khat every day, 6.3% among those who consumed drugs/khat a couple of times per week, 8.9% among those who used less than once per week, and 1.5% among those who never used drugs/khat. Those who had never been tested for HIV were more likely to test positive for HIV (p<0.05). The HIV prevalence among who had never been tested for HIV was 5.2% versus 2.0% among those who had been tested. The majority of the study population (73.2%) had engaged in sex. Of those who had sex, 30.2% had sex with a non-marital regular sexual partner in the last three months, 5.5% had sex with a casual partner and 5.2% had sex with a paid partner. Condom use at last sex with a paid sexual partner was 81.6%, compared to 57.7% with a casual partner and 7.9% with non-marital regular partner. The main reported reason for not using condoms with a non-marital regular ...
