Where a contracting authority is directly awarding a contract, it must have published a transparency notice before it can publish a contract award notice (section 44(1) of the Act).
Os bydd awdurdod contractio yn dyfarnu contract yn uniongyrchol, rhaid iddo fod wedi cyhoeddi hysbysiad tryloywder cyn y gall gyhoeddi hysbysiad dyfarnu contract (adran 44(1) o'r Ddeddf).
