2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Gwahoddir ceisiadau gan gwmnïau i dendro i werthuso gwaith ‘Cwlwm’ yn ei holl gyfanrwydd.

Companies are invited to tender to evaluate the work of the ‘Cwlwm’ partnership.

Sefydlwyd partneriaeth ’Cwlwm’ i ymateb i ofynion dyfarnu grant Adran Plant a Theuluoedd Llywodraeth Cymru yn 2014. Prif nod ac amcan ‘Cwlwm’ yw i:

“sicrhau bod teuluoedd ar draws Cymru yn gallu cael mynediad at ofal plant fforddiadwy o safon, i greu gofal plant hyblyg a chyfleon chwarae i gwrdd â gofynion rhieni a theuluoedd”

The ‘Cwlwm’ partnership was established to respond to the grant conditions awarded via the Children and Families Delivery Grant by Welsh Government in 2014. ‘Cwlwm’s main aim is to:

“ensure that families across Wales can access affordable, quality childcare providing innovative solutions to create flexible childcare and play opportunities to meet the needs of parents and their families”

Roedd sefydlu’r bartneriaeth yn garreg filltir yn hanes datblygiad sefydliadau blynyddoedd cynnar, gofal plant a chwarae Cymru ac yn gyfrwng pwysig i gyflawni rhychwant eang o dargedau gwahanol (fel a amlinellir yn atodiad 1 sef adroddiad

blynyddol ‘Cwlwm’ o 2014/15). Y 5 sefydliad sy’n rhan o bartneriaeth ‘Cwlwm’ yw:

Establishing the partnership was an important milestone in the developmental history of Wales’s foremost childcare, early years education and play organisations and became an important medium to enable and realise a wide range of targets (see

appendix 1, an annual report for ‘Cwlwm’ from 2014/15). The 5 organisations which constitute the partnership are:

-Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Club

-Mudiad Meithrin (Prif Bartner / Lead Organisation)

-National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA Cymru)

-Pacey Cymru

-Wales Pre-School Providers Association (Wales PPA)

Gyda’r bartneriaeth wedi pasio’r 18 mis a therfyn tymor y bartneriaeth ar y gorwel (gyda diwedd y cyfnod tendro wedi 3 mlynedd), mae’n ofynnol gwerthuso llwyddiant

y bartneriaeth.

With the partnership having passed the 18 month mark and the finishing line of the partnership tender award in sight (after three years), it’s time to evaluate the success of the partnership.
