Data and analytics consultancy in Bath

Bath sits in Somerset, with an economy built on tourism, hospitality and events, higher education and research, and software and technology. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Bath analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Bath's economy mixes a heritage visitor sector with professional services and technology firms, so analytics demand ranges from seasonal visitor forecasting to utilisation reporting. Planning constraints and conservation requirements also make construction and property reporting here unusually detailed.

The University of Bath is strong in engineering and management science, with Bristol next door for additional supply.

Economic anchors

  • a World Heritage visitor economy
  • two universities with engineering and management strength
  • professional services and technology businesses

Where the clients sit

  • Bath city centre
  • Bath Riverside
  • Bath Spa
  • the University of Bath campus

How buying works here

Three to eight weeks from first conversation….

Relatively fast and relationship-led, with procurement entering late unless the value is high. Day rates and fixed prices are both normal, and buyers expect them early rather than after three meetings.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Budget holder, usually a finance director, CIO or head of data
  2. IT and information security review, increasingly including a supplier questionnaire
  3. Procurement, for value above the delegated authority threshold
  4. Legal, for the master agreement rather than the statement of work

Have ready

  • Certificate of incorporation and latest filed accounts
  • Professional indemnity, public liability and employer's liability insurance certificates
  • Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, effectively mandatory for public-sector work
  • Data processing agreement under UK GDPR Article 28
  • Completed security questionnaire, often a standard set the client reuses

Contract language: English.
