The Construction Contracts
(Wales) Exclusion Order 2011
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Part 2 of the Housing Grants, Construction and
Regeneration Act 1996 ("the Act") makes provision as
regards the terms of construction contracts. Section
106A confers power on the Welsh Ministers to exclude
any description of construction contracts relating to the
carrying out of construction operations in Wales from
the operation of any or all of the provisions of Part 2 of
the Act. This Order excludes a type of contract from
the operation of one such provision.
The provision is section 110(1A) of the Act. Section
110(1) of the Act requires that contracts provide an
adequate mechanism for establishing what payments
become due and when they become due. Section
110(1A) provides that this requirement is not satisfied
if payment is conditional on obligations being
performed under another contract.
The type of contract excluded by this Order from the
provisions of section 110(1A) is known as a "first tier
pfi sub-contract". This is a contract whereby the non-
public body party to an agreement entered into under
the private finance initiative, sub-contracts to a third
party obligations under that agreement relating to the
carrying out of construction work. Agreements entered
into under the private finance initiative are themselves
already excluded from the operation of the entirety of
Part 2.
This Order will therefore mean that provisions in
first tier pfi sub-contracts, which make payments in
such contracts conditional upon obligations being
performed in other contracts (obligations such as
providing certificates), will be effective. Such
provisions would otherwise be ineffective because they
would not satisfy the requirement imposed by section
110(1A).

ADEILADU, CYMRU
Gorchymyn Hepgor Contractau
Adeiladu (Cymru) 2011
NODYN ESBONIADOL
(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Gorchymyn)
Mae Rhan 2 o Ddeddf Grantiau Tai, Adeiladu ac
Adfywio 1996 ("y Ddeddf") yn gwneud darpariaeth
â thelerau contractau adeiladu. Mae adran 106A
yn rhoi i Weinidogion Cymru i hepgor unrhyw
ddisgrifiad o gontractau adeiladu sy'n ymwneud â
gwneud gwaith adeiladu yng Nghymru o weithrediad
unrhyw rai neu'r cyfan o ddarpariaethau Rhan 2 o'r
Ddeddf. Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn hepgor un math o
gontract o weithrediad un ddarpariaeth o'r fath.
Adran 110(1A) o'r Ddeddf yw'r ddarpariaeth honno.
Mae adran 110(1) o'r Ddeddf yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol
bod contractau'n darparu dull digonol i sefydlu pa
daliadau sy'n dod yn ddyledus a pha bryd y maent yn
ddyledus. Mae adran 110(1A) yn darparu nad yw'r
gofyniad hwn wedi'i fodloni os yw'r taliad yn amodol
ar gyflawni rhwymedigaethau o dan gontract arall.
Yr enw ar y math o gontract sy'n cael ei hepgor gan
y Gorchymyn hwn o ddarpariaethau adran 110(1A) yw
"is-gontract mcp haen gyntaf". Contract yw hwn lle
bydd parti — nad yw'n gorff cyhoeddus — i gytundeb
a wnaed o dan y fenter cyllid preifat yn is-gontractio i
drydydd parti rwymedigaethau o dan y cytundeb
hwnnw sy'n ymwneud â gwneud gwaith adeiladu. Mae
cytundebau a wneir o dan y fenter cyllid preifat eisoes
wedi'u hepgor o weithrediad y cyfan o Ran 2.
Bydd y Gorchymyn hwn felly yn golygu y bydd
darpariaethau mewn is-gontractau mcp haen gyntaf,
sy'n peri bod taliadau mewn contractau o'r fath yn
amodol ar gyflawni rhwymedigaethau mewn
contractau eraill (rhwymedigaethau megis darparu
tystysgrifau), yn effeithiol. Byddai darpariaethau o'r
fath yn aneffeithiol fel arall am na fyddent yn bodloni'r
gofyniad a osodir gan adran 110(1A).
