Ynghylch y sesiwn

Mae Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin yn gwario tua £440 miliwn y flwyddyn ar nwyddau, gwaith a gwasanaethau. Mae’r Clinig Caffael hwn wedi’i gynllunio i helpu busnesau cymdeithasol a mentrau cymdeithasol i ddeall yn well sut i gael mynediad at, llywio a llwyddo ym mhrosesau caffael y Cyngor.

Bydd y sesiwn yn archwilio sut mae caffael yn gweithredu o fewn fframwaith deddfwriaethol Cymru, gan gynnwys Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol (Cymru) a Deddf Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru) 2023, a sut mae gwerth cymdeithasol yn cael ei ymgorffori drwy gomisiynu’r sector cyhoeddus.

Mae hon yn gweithdy ymarferol a rhyngweithiol a fydd yn cefnogi sefydliadau lleol i deimlo’n fwy hyderus wrth ymgysylltu â chaffael cyhoeddus ac i gyfrannu at ganlyniadau cymdeithasol, economaidd a chymunedol Sir Gaerfyrddin.


Beth fyddwch yn ei elwa

  1. Dealltwriaeth gliriach o sut mae caffael y Cyngor yn gweithio
  2. Canllawiau ymarferol ar ddod o hyd i gyfleoedd a chynnig amdanynt
  3. Mewnwelediad i sut mae gwerth cymdeithasol yn cael ei ddiffinio, ei asesu a’i sgorio
  4. Cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau’n uniongyrchol i weithwyr proffesiynol ym maes caffael
  5. Cyfle i gryfhau’r berthynas rhwng busnesau cymdeithasol a’r awdurdod lleol

Mae gan Sir Gaerfyrddin sector mentrau cymdeithasol sy’n tyfu, ac mae’r sesiwn hon yn gyfle go iawn i feithrin capasiti lleol a chynyddu cyfranogiad mewn darparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus.
