two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) programme produces a series of modelled metrics that provide a comprehensive picture of mortality and disability across geographies, time, age groups and gender. It quantifies health loss from hundreds of diseases, injuries, and risk factors, so that health systems can be improved and disparities eliminated.
Main results are presented as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), a time-based measure that combines years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLLs) and years lived with a disability (YLDs). These metrics were specifically developed to assess the burden of disease.
GBD provides a consistent and comparative description of burden of diseases, injuries and risks, allowing us to answer these questions:
• What are the main causes of health loss in an area today?
• What causes are getting worse and which are improving?
• Compared to a set of relevant areas, what causes have rates that are substantially higher (or lower)?
• What are the major risks associated with causes of burden?
GBD metrics are available for England as time series since 1990, at national, regional and local authority level
two.2.14) Additional information
We are looking to procure a supplier to produce a set of metrics to test the global burden of disease.
