Problemau…

Issues…

CCG wedi apwyntio llawer o gontractwyr ‘crefft penodol’ bach a chanolig (SME’s) yn ogystal a prîf gontractwr i ymgymryd a gwaith WHQS. CCG have appointed several ‘trade specific’ SME contractors as well as a main contractor to undertake WHQS work.

Contractwyr SME yn ei chael hi’n anodd i ymrywmo i’r cysyniad o fuddion cymunedol – dim profiad blaenorol o fuddion cymunedol fel ein prif gontractwr. SME’s found it difficult to engage into the concept of community benefits – no previous experience of working on a contract of this scale and had no previous experience of working in an ‘added value’ environment.

Angen meddwl am ffordd i ymrwymo’r contractwyr SME mewn buddion cymunedol trwy gyd-weithio gydail gilydd. Needed to think of a way to engage the SME’s into community benefits and also by co-operating with each other.

Swm Budd Cymunedol

Community Investment Sum Cytuno y byddai’r contractwyr SME yn cyfrannu Swm Budd Cymunedol i fewn i bot canolog – iw wario yn ol disgresiwn CCG yn benodol i greu cyfleoedd buddion cymunedol. Agreed that our SME contractors would contribute a Community Investment Sum that was to be spent at CCG’s discretion, solely for the purposes of delivering community benefit opportunities.

Y swm gafodd ei gyfrannu yn 0.25% o werth pob contract am flwyddyn 2012/13 a oedd yn golygu fod gennym Swm Budd Cymunedol gwerth odduetu £30,000. The sum contributed was 0.25% of each contract or AMP (Agreed Maximum Price) for 2013/13 meaning that we had a Community Investment Sum of approximately £30,000.

Penderfynnwyd ddefnyddio’r arian i greu cynllun ysgoloriaeth newydd o’r enw ‘Adeiladu Profiad’ gyda ffocws ar adeiladwaith It was decided to use the money to create a brand new scholarship scheme called ‘Building Experience’ that had a clear focus on construction.

Bwriad Adeiladu Profiad ydy rhoi profiad a chefnogaeth amhrisiadwy i bobl ifanc Gwynedd a Gogledd Cymru sy’n bwriadu cychwyn gyrfa ym maes adeiladwaith trwy gynnig y canlynol… Building Experience’s aim is to offer invaluable experience and support for young people in Gwynedd and North Wales that are considering embarking on a career in construction by offering the following…
