Data and analytics consultancy in Plymouth

Plymouth sits in Devon, with an economy built on defence and security, ports, terminals and maritime, and industrial machinery and engineering. 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.

Plymouth 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

Plymouth's defence and marine engineering concentration means long asset lifecycles, configuration control and accredited environments. Analytics work here is about availability of supported assets and programme performance rather than commercial margin.

The University of Plymouth has genuine strength in marine science and engineering, feeding defence and maritime employers.

Economic anchors

  • naval dockyard and defence engineering
  • marine and port operations
  • marine science research

Where the clients sit

  • Plymouth city centre
  • Devonport
  • Langage
  • Derriford

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 Plymouth

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