Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is soliciting tenders for the delivery of a new multicultural event in Edinburgh, under the title "Delivery of a Multicultural event for Edinburgh".

The event aims to promote diversity and engagement within the community, and is set to take place in September 2019, with potential for contract renewal after the initial event.
