Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned peer review for research into the Value of a Life Year (VOLY), willingness-to-pay per quality-adjusted life year (WTP-QALY) and the value of preventing a fatality (VPF). The work is research and related consultancy services, intended to produce current, robust and evidence-based values for use in UK Government economic appraisals. Its purpose is to help Government departments and agencies withstand external scrutiny and provide a sound basis for policy decisions. The service is classified under CPV 73000000. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other locations worldwide.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to the University of Warwick. The active award is worth £74,008, inclusive of the stated GBP currency, for a contract running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The Department for Transport used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. It was a services requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award concerns Lot 4, Peer Review, and the evaluation resulted in a single selected supplier.

This opportunity indicates demand for specialist economic, health and policy research capable of producing defensible monetary values for health and mortality outcomes. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this kind would need credible expertise in value-of-life-year analysis, willingness-to-pay research, quality-adjusted life years and the value of preventing fatalities. They would also need strong peer-review and evidence-assurance capability, with the academic or consultancy standing to test methods, scrutinise assumptions and explain findings clearly to Government departments and agencies. Experience producing robust, transparent outputs that can withstand external challenge would be important, as would the capacity to work across UK-wide and international delivery requirements.
