Outcome-based contracts

Outcome-based contract

“Outcome-based contracting, or its narrower equivalent of performance-based contracting, is a contracting mechanism that allows the customer to pay only when the firm has delivered outcomes, rather than merely activities and tasks” [NMY09]

“the idea of contracting on outcomes in B2B service contracts is increasingly possible. This is the case for Rolls Royce “Power-by-the-hour®” contracting for the service and support of their engines, where the continuous maintenance and servicing of the engine is not paid according to the spares, repairs or activities rendered to the customer, but by how many hours the customer obtains power from the engine.” [NMY09]
