Mae'r Fframwaith wedi'i rannu'n chwe Lot sy'n cwmpasu'r gwahanol wasanaethau sydd eu hangen.

The Framework is divided into six Lots covering the various services required. Each Lot is awarded with a prime contractor that will be issued the work in the first instance followed by up to four other contingent contractors.

Published description of the framework

Bydd tendrwyr yn cael eu dyfarnu i Lot yn nhrefn rheng. Bydd yr holl waith yn cael ei gynnig i'r Contractwr Rank 1 mewn Lot yn y lle cyntaf. Dim ond pan nad yw Contractwr Rank 1 yn gallu cyflawni'r gwaith, mae ganddo broblemau ansawdd neu berfformiad heb eu datrys neu wedi torri gofynion y Fframwaith a/neu alw telerau ac amodau y bydd y Contractwr Rank 2 yn y Lot yn cael ei ddefnyddio. Os bydd unrhyw un o'r materion uchod hefyd yn berthnasol i'r Contractwr Rank 2, bydd y gwaith yn cael ei gynnig i'r Contractwr Rank 3 ac yn y blaen.

Tenderers will be awarded to a Lot in rank order. All work will be offered to the Rank 1 Contractor in a Lot in the first instance. Only when a Rank 1 Contractor is unable to perform the work, has unresolved quality or performance issues or has contravened Framework requirements and/or call off terms and conditions will the Rank 2 Contractor in the Lot be used. Should any of the above issues also be applicable to the Rank 2 Contractor, the work will be offered to the Rank 3 Contractor and so on.
