Data and analytics consultancy in Dundee

Dundee sits in Scotland, with an economy built on games and interactive entertainment, medical devices, and higher education and research. 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.

Dundee 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

Dundee's games and life-sciences clusters produce two distinct analytics patterns: player telemetry and monetisation on one side, laboratory and research data on the other. Both involve high-volume event data that outgrows a desktop model quickly, which is usually the trigger for the first conversation.

Abertay University's games programmes and the University of Dundee's life-sciences research give an unusual talent mix for a city of this size.

Economic anchors

  • an established games development cluster
  • life-sciences research with international standing
  • a significant university presence relative to city size

Where the clients sit

  • Dundee Waterfront
  • Dundee Technology Park
  • the city centre

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.
