The Contract covers the provision of primary care services to the patients registered with Partners in Health.

The Partnership was made up of two GPs who wished to withdraw from running the practice.

GDoc Ltd was chosen by the Partnership to take over the Partnership's business operations. GDoc Ltd has replaced the Partnership as a consequence of a universal succession into the position of the Partnership which will now be wound down. NHS Gloucestershire ICB therefore considers that the novation is permitted under Regulation 72(1)(d) of the PCR insofar as this Regulation is relevant to contracts that fall within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the PCR (contracts for social and other specific services). GDoc Ltd is a Gloucestershire-based cooperative of general practitioners which was willing and able to take over the Partners in Health practice. It meets the requirements of the GMS Regulations and is a current contract holder in Gloucestershire for primary care services. The benefits of being able to novate the contract to a known entity in terms of assured continuity of care given the difficulties with workforce recruitment and retention in this inner city area are significant. The novation of the Contract to GDoc Ltd ensures the ongoing stability of primary care services in for Partners in Health patients and enables these crucial services to continue without any break in service following the decision of the Partnership to withdraw. The GPs that comprised the Partnership continue to be employed within the practice and fully support and are committed to the practice population. The NHS Gloucestershire ICB is satisfied that GDoc Ltd is the only provider capable of achieving these objectives at this stage." }, "awards": [ { "id": "020902-2022-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "title": "GMS Contract for Partners in Health", "status": "active", "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-08230041", "name": "G Doc Ltd" } ] } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-NHS-QR1", "name": "Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board", "identifier": { "legalName": "Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board", "id": "QR1", "scheme": "GB-NHS" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Sanger House, 5220 Valiant Court, Gloucester Business Park, Brockworth", "locality": "GLOUCESTER", "region": "UKK13", "postalCode": "GL34FE", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "name": "Paul Wilkinson", "email": "paul.wilkinson2@nhs.net" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "https://www.gloucestershireccg.nhs.uk/", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "TED_CA_TYPE", "id": "BODY_PUBLIC", "description": "Body governed by public law" }, { "scheme": "COFOG", "id": "07", "description": "Health" } ] } }, { "id": "GB-COH-08230041", "name": "G Doc Ltd", "identifier": { "legalName": "G Doc Ltd", "id": "08230041", "scheme": "GB-COH" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Quayside House, Quay Street", "locality": "Gloucester", "region": "UKK13", "postalCode": "GL1 2TZ", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "supplier" ], "details": { "url": "https://gdoc.org.uk/", "scale": "sme" } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-48661", "name": "The High Court of England and Wales", "identifier": { "legalName": "The High Court of England and Wales" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "The Royal Court of Justice, The Strand", "locality": "London", "postalCode": "WC2A 2LL", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "reviewBody" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-NHS-QR1", "name": "Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board" }, "contracts": [ { "id": "020902-2022-1", "awardID": "020902-2022-1", "title": "GMS Contract for Partners in Health", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 1, "currency": "GBP" }, "dateSigned": "2022-08-01T00:00:00+01:00" } ], "bids": { "statistics": [ { "id": "1", "measure": "bids", "relatedLot": "1", "value": 1 } ] }, "language": "en" }
