Third sector organisations encouraged to register on Sell2Wales
Small organisations are being encouraged to register their services on the Sell2Wales website as part of delivery arrangements for the 2007-2013 EU programmes.

Under the new programmes organisations can benefit from European funding – not only as sponsors or as beneficiaries of projects but also by tendering to deliver their services. Once registered with Sell2Wales, organisations can then bid for contracts, and will be alerted of opportunities that are published on Buy4Wales.

Opportunities to deliver services through European funded projects will also be listed on the WEFO website in the approved projects tables and will soon be available on www.sustainablefundingcymru.org.uk These arrangements will ensure that opportunities for smaller organisations to deliver European-funded activity will be offered as widely as possible. This approach seeks to avoid duplication of activities, provide value for money and is better placed to support the smaller number of more strategically focused projects during the 2007-2013 programmes. It will also help project sponsors to meet European Commission regulations on State aid and procurement.

A Guide to Tendering is available on the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of the Sell2Wales website and provides practical tips on how to submit a tender.

WEFO guidance on sponsorship, partnership, procurement and grants has been published to help organisations understand whether or not they may be better placed to be project delivery agents rather than project sponsors. Information has also been published on Third Sector Access to European Funding, which explains the guidance specifically in relation to the third sector.

Further advice is available by contacting your regional SET (Spatial European Team), WCVA’s Third Sector European Team 3SET@wcva.org.uk (3-SET) or the WEFO helpline on 0845 010 3355.

Latest tendering opportunities!
Listed below are web links to live tender notices for European projects that have been advertised on www.Sell2Wales.co.uk .

Loan finance

Communities Investment Fund successfully completes first phase
CIF completed the investment of its first phase funding before the deadline of 31 December 2008. CIF was launched in 2006 with funding from the Communities First Trust Fund.

£2.7m of loans and £420K of grants was invested in 44 community enterprises active in Communities First areas. The grants have helped projects develop their capacity to take on loan investment. Many of the loans were given with extended interest and repayment free terms.

The CIF team are working on funding for 2009 and beyond. The Fund is generating cash flow from repayments and it is intended that this recycled money will be reinvested in community projects which can demonstrate financial sustainability and good social returns. It is also intended that CIF will operate beyond Communities First in its next phase.

For information on the current situation, please contact the CIF team via the WCVA Helpdesk on 0800 2888 329 or help@wcva.org.uk.

Procurement and public service delivery

NHS Wales pledges to protect charity contracts
Contracts between third sector organisations and local health boards in Wales will be protected during a reorganisation of the health service in the principality, according to NHS Wales.

Paul Williams, chief executive of NHS Wales, wrote to the chief executives of the 22 local health boards in Wales last month to say that any current financial commitments with third sector organisations should be maintained and that contracts up for renewal should be kept going for a minimum of a year.

In addition, Building Strong Bridges, the initiative created to strengthen partnerships between NHS Wales and the voluntary sector, will guarantee funding for people working as the project's facilitators until March 2010.

The planned restructure will see the existing local health boards and nine NHS trusts in Wales dissolved and seven new local health boards set up to replace them.

Williams said that the NHS and Welsh Assembly would be working with WCVA over the next two years to "ensure that a longer term infrastructure is developed".

Anogir sefydliadau'r trydydd sector i gofrestru ar Gwerthwch i Gymru
Mae sefydliadau bach yn cael eu hannog i gofrestru eu gwasanaethau drwy gwerthwchigymru fel rhan o'r trefniadau cyflenwi ar gyfer rhaglenni 2007-2013. O dan y rhaglenni newydd gall sefydliadau elwa o arian Ewropeaidd – nid yn unig fel noddwyr neu fel buddiolwyr prosiectau ond hefyd trwy dendro i ddarparu eu gwasanaethau. Unwaith y maen nhw wedi cofrestru gyda Gwerthwchigymru, gall sefydliadau fidio am gytundebau, a chânt wybod am y cyfleoedd, a gyhoeddir ar PrynwchiGymru.

Bydd cyfleoedd i ddarparu gwasanaethau drwy brosiectau arian Ewropeaidd hefyd yn cael eu rhestru ar wefan WEFO yn y tablau prosiectau a gymeradwywyd.

Bydd y trefniadau hyn yn fodd i sicrhau fod cyfleoedd i sefydliadau llai gyflenwi gweithgarwch arian Ewropeaidd yn cael eu cynnig mor eang â phosib. Bydd hyn hefyd yn helpu prosiectau i fodloni rheoliadau’r Cymorth Ewropeaidd ar Gymorth gwladol a chaffael.

Mae Canllaw i Dendro i’w gael yn adran COA (Cwestiynau a Ofynnir yn Aml) gwefan Gwerthwchigymru sy’n rhoi cynghorion ymarferol ar sut i gyflwyno tendr. Mae gwybodaeth bellach ar gael trwy gysylltu â’ch Tîm Ewropeaidd Gofodol rhanbarthol neu Linell Gymorth WEFO ar y rhif: 0845 010 3355.

Cyhoeddwyd canllawiau WEFO ar nawdd, partneriaeth, caffael a grantiau i helpu sefydliadau ddeall a allent fod mewn gwell sefyllfa i fod yn asiantiaid cyflenwi prosiectau yn hytrach na noddwyr prosiect neu beidio.

Cyhoeddwyd gwybodaeth hefyd ar Fynediad y Trydydd Sector i Arian Ewropeaidd, sy’n egluro’r canllawiau’n benodol mewn cysylltiad â’r trydydd sector.

Rhaid i swyddogion codi arian ddarbwyllo ymddiriedolwyr i edrych tuag at y dyfodol, meddai arbenigwr
Dylai swyddogion codi arian ganolbwyntio ar gynllunio strategol hirdymor er mwyn dod drwy’r dirwasgiad, fel y dywedwyd wrth gynrychiolwyr mewn cynhadledd ar reoli codi arian strategol. Bydd Christopher Askew, cyfarwyddwr codi arian yn Breakthrough Breast Cancer, hefyd yn dweud wrth gynrychiolwyr yn nigwyddiad y Sefydliad Codi Arian ym Mawrth ei bod yn hanfodol cael cefnogaeth ymddiriedolwyr, er ei bod yn well gan ymddiriedolwyr yn aml wneud penderfyniadau ar sail effaith tymor byr. Dywedodd Askew wrth y Trydydd Sector cyn y gynhadledd fod deall pwysigrwydd y strategaeth yn hollbwysig, yn enwedig yn yr hinsawdd economaidd presennol.

Rhoi a chodi arian cyhoeddus

Manteisiwch ar roi treth-effeithiol...
Rhoddir y cyfle i bobl sy’n codi arian ac elusennau fanteisio i’r eithaf ar roi treth-effeithiol. Bydd y Sefydliad Codi Arian a rhaglen bartner gweithdai rhoi treth-effeithiol WCVA yn ymweld â Chaerdydd ddydd Mawrth 3 Mawrth 2009, Llandrindod 4 Mawrth, a Llandudno 5 Mawrth.

Mae elusennau yn colli miliynau o bunnoedd a allent fod â’r hawl i’w gael, am y rheswm syml nad ydynt yn manteisio i’r eithaf ar y technegau codi arian treth-effeithiol sydd ar gael iddynt.

Cyllid benthyca

Y Gronfa Buddsoddi Cymunedol yn cwblhau ei cham cyntaf
Bu i CBC orffen buddsoddi cyllid ei cham cyntaf cyn y dyddiad cau, sef 31 Rhagfyr 2008. Cafodd CBC ei lansio yn 2006 gyda nawdd oddi wrth Gronfa Ymddiriedolaeth Cymunedau yn Gyntaf.

Buddsoddwyd £2.7m o fenthyciadau a £420K o grantiau mewn 44 o fentrau cymunedol gweithredol yn ardaloedd Cymunedau yn Gyntaf. Mae’r grantiau wedi helpu prosiectau i ddatblygu eu gallu i gymryd buddsoddiad drwy fenthyciad. Rhoddwyd llawer o’r benthyciadau gyda chyfnodau estynedig di-log a heb ad-daliadau.

Mae tîm BCB yn gweithio ar nawdd ar gyfer 2009 a thu hwnt. Mae’r Gronfa’n cynhyrchu llif arian o ad-daliadau a’r bwriad yw ail-fuddsoddi’r arian hwn sydd wedi’i ailgylchu mewn prosiectau cymunedol a all ddangos cynaliadwyedd ariannol a manteision cymdeithasol da. Bwriedir i BCB hefyd weithredu y tu hwnt i ardaloedd Cymunedau yn Gyntaf yn ei cham nesaf.

I gael gwybodaeth am y sefyllfa bresennol, cysylltwch â thîm BCB drwy Ddesg Gymorth WCVA ar 0800 2888 329 neu help@wcva.org.uk.

Caffael a darparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus

GIG Cymru yn addo gwarchod contractau elusennau
Bydd contractau rhwng sefydliadau trydydd sector a byrddau iechyd lleol yng Nghymru yn cael eu hamddiffyn wrth i’r gwasanaeth iechyd yng Nghymru gael ei ad-drefnu, yn ôl GIG Cymru.

Ysgrifennodd Paul Williams, prif weithredwr GIG Cymru, at brif weithredwyr y 22 bwrdd iechyd lleol yng Nghymru fis diwethaf i ddweud y dylai unrhyw ymrwymiadau ariannol presennol gyda sefydliadau trydydd sector gael eu cynnal ac y dylid parhau â chontractau y mae’n amser eu hadnewyddu am o leiaf blwyddyn.

Yn ogystal, bydd Codi Pontydd Cadarn, y cynllun a grëwyd i gryfhau’r partneriaethau rhwng GIG Cymru a’r sector gwirfoddol, yn sicrhau nawdd i bobl sy’n gweithio fel hwyluswyr i’r prosiect hyd at fis Mawrth 2010.

Yn sgîl yr ailstrwythuro, bydd y byrddau iechyd lleol presennol a’r naw ymddiriedolaeth GIG yng Nghymru yn cael eu diddymu a sefydlir saith o fyrddau iechyd lleol newydd yn eu lle.

Dywedodd Williams y byddai’r GIG a Llywodraeth y Cynulliad yn gweithio gyda WCVA dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf i "sicrhau bod seilwaith tymor hwy’n cael ei ddatblygu".
