Mae'r Nodyn Cyngor yn adeiladu ar argymhellion Adroddiad Dur Tasglu Tata Steel ym mis Ionawr 2016, a nododd gaffael cyhoeddus fel maes i gefnogi'r diwydiant dur yng Nghymru a'r DU. Bydd yn rhoi eglurder i sector cyhoeddus Cymru ynghylch y camau y dylid eu cymryd i agor cyfleoedd is\-gontractio i gyflenwyr dur Cymru a'r DU.

Dywedodd yr Athro Drakeford: “Rydym yn cyhoeddi'r Nodyn Cyngor fel rhan o'n hymrwymiad parhaus i gefnogi hyfywedd hirdymor y diwydiant cynhyrchu dur yng Nghymru. Mae hefyd yn cydnabod pa mor bwysig yw'r diwydiant dur i economi Cymru a'r DU o ran darparu swyddi cyflogau uwch sy'n gofyn am lawer o sgiliau – yn uniongyrchol ac yn y gadwyn gyflenwi – ac fel buddsoddwr allweddol ym meysydd addysg bellach, ymchwil a datblygu.”

Mae'r Nodyn Cyngor yn annog cyrff y sector cyhoeddus i benderfynu pa rai o'u caffaeliadau sy’n brosiectau ‘mawr’ lle mae dur yn debygol o fod yn elfen hanfodol. Awgrymir y gallai'r rhain gynnwys y canlynol, ymysg eraill:

* Prosiectau seilwaith \- fel rheilffyrdd a ffyrdd;
* Prosiectau adeiladu \- fel adeiladu neu adnewyddu carchardai, ysbytai, prifysgolion, tai, canolfannau cymunedol, pontydd ac ysgolion;
* Amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd.

Ychwanegodd yr Athro Drakeford: “Dyma enghraifft arall o ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i ddarparu cyfleoedd i gyflenwyr lleol wneud cais am gontractau cyhoeddus, un ai'n uniongyrchol neu drwy'r gadwyn gyflenwi, ac mae'n rhan o'n pecyn cymorth ehangach i'r sector dur yng Nghymru. Mae hefyd yn tynnu sylw at ein polisi parhaus i gefnogi arferion busnes moesegol drwy ddefnyddio polisi caffael cyhoeddus. 

"Rydyn ni eisoes yn gweld canlyniadau'r Nodyn Cyngor Caffael dur cyntaf a gyhoeddwyd yn 2016 ar brosiect Ffordd Gyswllt Dwyrain y Bae, sy'n cael ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae hyn wedi helpu i sicrhau bod 89% o'r bariau atgyfnerthu dur sy'n cael eu defnyddio i adeiladu'r ffordd yn dod o Gymru."

The PAN builds on the recommendations in the Steel Report by the Tata Steel Task Force in January 2016, which identified public procurement as an area of support for the steel industry in Wales and the UK. The PAN will provide clarity to the Welsh public sector on approaches which should be adopted to open up sub\-contract opportunities for Welsh and UK steel suppliers.

Professor Drakeford said: “The publication of the PAN is part of our ongoing commitment to support the long\-term viability of steel making in Wales and recognises the importance of steel to the Welsh and UK economy as a provider of highly\-skilled, well\-paid jobs – both directly and in the supply chain – and as a key investor in further education and research and development.”

The steel PAN encourages public sector bodies to determine which of their procurements are major projects in which steel is likely to be a critical component. It suggests they may include but are not limited to:

* Infrastructure projects – such as rail and roads;
* Construction projects – such as the building of and or refurbishment of prisons, hospitals, universities, housing, community centres, bridges and schools;
* Flood defences.

Professor Drakeford added: “This is a further example of the Welsh Government’s commitment to provide opportunities for local suppliers to engage in public contracts – either directly or through the supply chain – and is part of our wider support package for the steel sector in Wales. It also highlights our ongoing policy of using public procurement to support ethical business practices. 

“We are already seeing the results of the first steel PAN, which was issued in 2016, to support the Eastern Bay Link Road project, funded by the Welsh Government. This has helped source 89% of the steel reinforcing bars used in the construction of the road from within Wales.”
