Economy and Efficiency Clause Samples

The Economy and Efficiency clause is designed to ensure that resources are used in a cost-effective and productive manner throughout the performance of a contract or project. In practice, this clause may require parties to adopt methods, materials, or processes that minimize waste and reduce unnecessary expenses, such as selecting suppliers based on best value rather than just lowest price. Its core function is to promote prudent management and optimal use of resources, thereby preventing overspending and encouraging responsible stewardship of funds.

Economy and Efficiency. Earlier years of HSIF exhibited funding surpluses, while later years demonstrated greater alignment between allocated funding and actual expenditures. Project coordinators reported that HSIF funding enabled them to leverage financial and/or other (in-kind) resources from partners in support of health integration initiatives. Project teams engaging in service mapping and needs assessment analyses became more aware of existing services, thereby extending their resource network and preventing the future duplication of services. In addition, several projects produced outcomes that resulted in more efficient healthcare service delivery due to incorporating the use of technology (e.g., the implementation of electronic medical records reduced the time required to establish a patient’s medical history prior to proceeding with treatment). Details relating to project management (e.g., lack of clarity around roles and responsibilities), in some cases, negatively impacted the efficiency with which project activities were carried out. The program has a Performance Measurement Strategy in place. Project reporting is currently taking place, and opportunity exists to strengthen projects’ individual indicators by focusing on more outcome-driven indicators, ensuring indicators seeking to measure improvements are accompanied by baseline data, and accounting for a certain degree of specificity in indicators for accurate reporting. Project performance measurement indicators should continue to support program-level indicators while also establishing a distinct set of indicators to measure project- specific performance.

Economy and Efficiency. Staff has a responsibility to ensure that the Ag Foundation’s resources are managed effectively. In this regard, material, financial and computerized resources should only be used for Ag Foundation purposes. Though staff members may occasionally need to use Ag Foundation resources for personal reasons, such as personal telephone calls, such usage must be kept to a minimum, and must not result in additional expense to the Ag Foundation. Additionally, equipment, materials and facilities must be treated with appropriate care and secured against theft and misuse in order to ensure that the maximum level of resources are available to discharge the Ag Foundation’s functions.
