Strikes could be called off as the council body agrees to an offer that achieves an overall 5% pay rise.
The pay uplift is funded jointly by local authorities and the Scottish government.
The first industrial action by Edinburgh council workers over pay started on Thursday and is set to last 12 days. "A formal offer has now been made to trade unions, which I hope will be considered."We need to continue to press the Scottish government for more flexibility in the use of council resources and fairer funding to sustain services."
Johanna Baxter, head of local government at Unison Scotland, said: "We welcome the fact there appears to be more money on the table but we are a long way from a formal pay offer which would provide clarity over what workers will receive in their pay packets, and on which we can consult our members.
