An exemption from Standing Orders is requested
for the Healthwatch Rotherham Service. There is little evidence to
suggest that the market has changed from when this service was
originally commissioned. It is unlikely that there will be other
providers that could deliver a local Healthwatch service with the
same level of experience and knowledge. Therefore conducting a
competitive tendering process would not be the best use of
resources.
