    Brief

    This research project seeks to establish current, evidence-based valuations for Value of a Life Year (VOLY), Willingness to Pay per Quality-Adjusted Life Year (WTP-QALY), and Value of a Statistical Life (VPF). These valuations are essential for UK Government economic appraisals and policy evaluations. The project will ensure that government decisions affecting public health, safety, and welfare are grounded in robust, defensible economic evidence that withstands external scrutiny. Suppliers will be engaged to provide independent peer review of the research findings and methodology to validate the results before implementation across UK Government Departments and Agencies.
