Description of the goods or services required

Mae CNC wedi gweithio ar ddatblygu offer ac adnoddau gwybodaeth a all helpu’r rhai sy’n gwneud penderfyniadau i roi dull ecosystem, holistig ar waith o safbwynt yr amgylchedd. Mapiodd y gwaith hwn amrywiaeth o wasanaethau ecosystemau, ar raddfa genedlaethol ac ar raddfa awdurdodau lleol. Nododd ardaloedd lle y byddai gwella gwasanaethau ecosystemau’n debygol o gael yr effaith fwyaf ac edrychwyd hefyd ar adnoddau naturiol hollbwysig sy’n amhosibl eu hadnewyddu yn y tymor byr-canol.

Bydd y contract hwn yn canolbwyntio’n benodol ar ddatblygu adnodd gwybodaeth y gall CNC ei ddefnyddio i gyfarwyddo’r dasg o ddatblygu Datganiadau Ardal dan Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd Cymru 2016. Y bwriad yw y bydd y canlyniadau’n berthnasol ar lefel strategol yn ogystal ag ar lefel leol, a byddant yn archwilio materion cyfredol, byw yn ymwneud â phwysau, cyfleoedd a goblygiadau o safbwynt gwytnwch a llesiant er mwyn cyfarwyddo cynnwys y Datganiadau Ardal.

Er mwyn sicrhau bod canlyniadau’r prosiect yn addas i’r diben hwn, disgwylir i’r ymgynghorydd llwyddiannus weithio’n agos gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a defnyddio’r wybodaeth a gesglir ar gyfer y Datganiadau Ardal. Bydd yn hanfodol i’r adnodd gwybodaeth a fydd yn deillio o hyn fod yn hawdd cael gafael arno ac yn hawdd ei ddehongli, a bod unrhyw ganlyniadau’n cael eu cynllunio gyda hyn mewn cof o’r cychwyn cyntaf.

NRW has worked on developing tools and information resources that can help decision makers to take a holistic, ecosystem approach to the environment. This work mapped a range of ecosystem services at both the national and local authority scale. It identified areas where improving ecosystem services was likely to have the largest impact and also looked at key natural resources that are impossible to replace in the short to medium term.

This contract will specifically focus on developing an information resource that can be used by NRW to inform development of Area Statements under the Welsh Environment Act 2016. It is intended that the outputs will be applicable at a strategic as well as a local level and will explore current, live issues around pressures, opportunities and implications for resilience and wellbeing in order to inform the contents of the Area Statements.

To ensure the outputs of this project are fit for this purpose, the successful consultant will be expected to work closely with Natural Resources Wales and use information being gathered for the Area Statements. It will be essential that the resulting information resource is both easy to access and to interpret and any outputs are to be designed with this in mind from the outset.
