Festival Event in Inverleith Park
Feedback updated 9 Sep 2019
We asked
The Council engaged with all relevant stakeholders to seek their opinions ahead of the re-procurement of the contract for a festival event in Inverleith Park during the month of August. 2019 was the third and final year of the existing contract.
You said
There were 99 responses received in total and just over half agreed with the general proposal to hold a ticketed event in Inverleith Park in August.
In terms of the length of time that the event would be on-site (10 days inclusive of set up and de-rig) again, just over half agreed with, or had no opinion either way that this was an acceptable length of time.
The majority of respondents favoured a donation to general park improvements, closely followed by donations to new infrastructure such as play or exercise equipment.
We did
We have fully considered the responses from stakeholders and sought further feedback from elected members. As there was no overall majority for either of the questions asked, we will be proceeding with the current specification.
The final contract will be awarded following assessment of a competative tender, in line with the Council procurement policies and procedures.
