## Description
Mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful yn ymgymryd â chaffael mawr i sicrhau partner cyflenwi hirdymor ar gyfer ei wasanaethau hamdden. Bydd y contract yn cwmpasu rheoli a gweithredu Canolfan Hamdden Merthyr Tudful, Canolfan Gymunedol Aberfan a Dyffryn Merthyr (gan gynnwys cae 3G Grove), a chaffi, pad sblash a chyrtiau tenis Parc Cyfarthfa. Mae'r Cyngor yn bwriadu i'r trefniadau newydd gefnogi nodau strategol craidd gan gynnwys gwella iechyd a lles, lleihau anghydraddoldebau, cryfhau cymunedau a chyfrannu tuag at ymrwymiadau sero net.
Mae'r caffael yn cael ei redeg fel Gweithdrefn Hyblyg Gystadleuol o dan Ddeddf Caffael 2023 a Rheoliadau Caffael Cymru 2024. Bydd y Cyngor yn profi Contract Gweithredu Hamdden traddodiadol (LOC) a model asiantaeth amgen trwy gynigion amrywiol gorfodol. Disgwylir i'r contract ddechrau ar 1 Ebrill 2027, gyda thymor cychwynnol o 10 mlynedd a dau opsiwn estyniad o hyd at bum mlynedd yr un, gan alluogi uchafswm cyfnod o 20 mlynedd.
Bydd y gweithredwr hefyd yn darparu rhaglenni a ariennir gan grant fel y Cynllun Cenedlaethol Atgyfeirio Ymarfer Corff (NERS) a'r Fenter Nofio Am Ddim, sy'n cyd-fynd â blaenoriaethau iechyd cenedlaethol. Yn ogystal, gall y Cyngor gynnwys gwasanaeth cymdogaeth Cymunedau Actif, wedi'i gynllunio i dargedu trigolion llai egnïol ac ehangu cyfleoedd gweithgarwch corfforol y tu hwnt i'r brif ystâd hamdden.
Mae'r caffael hwn yn cynrychioli buddsoddiad strategol allweddol yn nyfodol hamdden, lles a gwasanaethau cymunedol ledled Merthyr Tudful. Bydd yn ofynnol i'r gweithredwr llwyddiannus nid yn unig redeg cyfleusterau o ansawdd uchel ond cyfrannu'n ystyrlon at amcanion iechyd, cymdeithasol, amgylcheddol ac economaidd ehangach. Bydd cydbwysedd cryf rhwng cynaliadwyedd masnachol, ffocws cymunedol a gweithio partneriaeth hirdymor yn hanfodol i gyflawni uchelgeisiau'r Cyngor ar gyfer bwrdeistref sirol iachach a mwy egnïol.
