In brief, a range of COPD treatments will be characterised by their component features, known as attributes. Each attribute will
then be represented by a range of options, known as levels. These attributes and levels can be formulated into a range of
different scenarios, each of which represents a different combination of levels for each attribute. Respondents are asked to make
a series of choices within scenario sets and, through their choices, inferences can be made about their relative preferences across
attributes/levels. While respondents are only subjected to a small number of possible combinations of these levels, Bayesian
statistical methods can be applied to determine the impact on treatment preference for any combination of attribute levels.
A first step of the DCE is to define the most relevant attributes for relevant COPD treatment/ management strategies and, for
each attribute, to define the levels to be tested. It is recommended to use a maximum of eight attributes with two to three
levels. With more than 8 attributes, there is a risk that respondents start to use simplifying heuristics to answer questions and
they will typically only focus on 2-3 attributes important to themselves when making choices between scenarios, thereby
potentially reducing the robustness of the results.

The Buyer hereby engages the Supplier to conduct a literature review and assist in the production of a dynamic
evidence map on the impact of primary and secondary interventions on progression and/or symptoms for patients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) or patients at risk of COPD. The output will be used by the Buyer
as a basis for decisions on the allocation of resources for the COPD care pathway, using the socio-technical allocation
of resources (STAR) technique. Subsequently, the Buyer will adapt the results for publication to a high impact journal
