Rhaid i'r gwasanaeth barhau i fod yn annibynnol ar unrhyw SIEM penodol a rhaid iddo gefnogi trefniadau SIEM ac offer diogelwch eraill sydd naill ai'n eiddo i Gyfranogwyr neu'n drefniadau amgen a gymeradwywyd, lle gellir cyflawni'r canlyniadau gofynnol o ran diogelwch, monitro, rhannu gwybodaeth, rhyngweithrededd a sicrwydd.

Bydd yn ofynnol i'r tendrwr llwyddiannus ymrwymo i Gytundeb Fframwaith gyda'r Awdurdod Contractio ac, wedi hynny, ymrwymo i gontractau unigol gan ddefnyddio templed contract galw i lawr gydag awdurdodau sy'n cymryd rhan drwy'r weithdrefn galw i lawr.
Er budd tryloywder ac er mwyn rhoi gwybod i ddarpar dendrwyr cyn gynted â phosibl, mae'r contractwr presennol wedi nodi y bydd TUPE yn berthnasol i'r caffaeliad hwn. Yn unol â'r rheoliadau, rhaid i'r contractwr presennol a'r contractwr newydd a ddyfernir i'r Fframwaith o ganlyniad i'r caffaeliad hwn gydymffurfio â rheoliadau TUPE lle maent yn berthnasol.
Bydd gwybodaeth TUPE yn cael ei darparu i dendrwyr ar y rhestr fer yng Ngham 3.
