## Description
NHS Gloucestershire ICB ("the ICB") held a General Medical Services (GMS) contract ("the Westbury Surgery Contract") with G Doc Ltd (patient list size circa 3,100) for the provision of primary care services from Westbury Surgery, Westbury. The ICB also holds another GMS contract ("the Forest Health Care Contract") with the Partners of Forest Health Care (patient list size circa 8,370) for the provision of primary care services from Forest Health Care Surgery, Cinderford. The Westbury Contract had become unviable as a standalone contract. The ICB therefore decided to terminate the Westbury Contract and incorporate the Westbury patient list into the Forest Health Care Contract by way of variation to the Forest Health Care Contract. The Westbury Surgery is now a branch surgery of the Forest Health Care  Surgery.
The Forest Health Care Contract is subject to the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the PCR"). The ICB has relied on PCR 72(1)(b) to effect a permitted variation to the Forest Health Care Contract to incorporate the Westbury Surgery as a branch surgery. The variation took effect on 1 August 2023.
