Data and analytics consultancy in Cambridge

Cambridge sits in Cambridgeshire, with an economy built on software and technology, electronics and semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals and biotech. 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.

Cambridge 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

Cambridge's silicon design and biotech clusters generate analytics work at the technical end: test and yield data, trial operations, research pipeline reporting. Clients here are usually capable of building their own platform and engage externally for architecture judgement and speed rather than for capacity.

Cambridge has an extraordinary concentration of technical talent, and correspondingly intense competition for anyone with modelling experience.

Economic anchors

  • a globally significant semiconductor design cluster
  • biotech and pharmaceutical research
  • one of the densest deep-technology ecosystems in Europe

Where the clients sit

  • Cambridge Science Park
  • Granta Park
  • the Cambridge Biomedical Campus
  • St John's Innovation Park

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.

Next step

Analytics work in Cambridge

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what software and technology and electronics and semiconductors data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written proposal with a fixed price or a day rate. Procurement joins above roughly £50,000.
