GMS Contract for Partners in Health

Description

The novation of a General Medical Services contract to G Doc Ltd: NHS Gloucestershire ICB held a General Medical Services (GMS) contract ("the Contract") with the Partners of Partners in Health ("the Partnership") for the provision of primary care services from Pavilion Family Doctors, 153a Stroud Road Gloucester and St James Family Doctors, St James, Quedgeley, Gloucester. The Contract is subject to the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the PCR") (the Light Regime). NHS Gloucestershire ICB has relied on Regulation 72(1)(d) of the PCR to effect a permitted variation to the Contract given that G Doc Ltd has succeeded into the position of the Partnership, taking over its business operations. The Contract was novated to G Doc Ltd 1 August 2022 on the same terms. Lot 1: This section provides detail of the services covered by the Contract and the novation of the Contract. The Contract covers the provision of primary care services to the patients registered with Partners in Health. It is a GMS Contract that is subject to the requirements of the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) Regulations 2015 (as amended). The Partnership was made up of two GPs who wished to withdraw from running the practice. G Doc Ltd was chosen by the Partnership and was able to take over the Partnership's business operations and run the Partners in Health practice under a GMS Contract. NHS Gloucestershire ICB has therefore novated the Contract from the Partnership to G Doc Ltd.
