Data and analytics consultancy in Liverpool

Liverpool sits in Merseyside, with an economy built on ports, terminals and maritime, logistics and freight, 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.

Liverpool 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

Liverpool combines port and logistics operations with pharmaceutical manufacturing, which puts two very different data disciplines in the same city: high-volume movement events on one side and GxP-regulated batch records on the other. Port work in particular rewards getting event timestamps right before anything else is attempted.

The University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores and LIPA give the city a mixed analytics and life-sciences talent base.

Economic anchors

  • a major deep-water container port on the Irish Sea
  • pharmaceutical and biologics manufacturing
  • a significant life-sciences research base

Where the clients sit

  • the commercial district
  • Liverpool Waters
  • Speke
  • Knowledge Quarter

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.

Analytics work in Liverpool

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what ports, terminals and maritime and logistics and freight 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.
