Gwerthu i'r cyngor: canllaw i gyflenwyr

This guide gives current and potential suppliers guidance and information about the council's procurement processes. This will help suppliers to increase their chances of bidding for and finding out about council tendering opportunities.

It will help suppliers and contractors who wish to supply Swansea Council with goods, services or works to:

• helpu cyflenwyr i ddeall sut mae'r cyngor yn caffael nwyddau a gwasanaethau
• nodi'r mathau o nwyddau a gwasanaethau i'w caffael
• nodi lle rydym yn hysbysebu ac yn gosod hysbysiadau
• amlinellu'r prosesau y mae'n rhaid i'r cyngor eu dilyn wrth brynu nwyddau a gwasanaethau.

As the council buys goods and services using public money, there is a strict requirement to achieve best value. At the same time we must make sure there is openness and fairness among suppliers wishing to sell to us.

To achieve these, all contracts awarded must meet with the rules laid out in the council's constitution (Contract Procedure Rules). They must also meet other key statutory provisions and EU public procurement directives (for example the Public Contract Regulations 2015).

A contract for the provision of services for the public in Wales needs to meet the terms of the council's Welsh language scheme. Any Welsh language requirements will be clearly stated in the contract notices and the tender or quotation documents.
