Swansea 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

Swansea's industrial base in metals processing generates yield, energy-intensity and emissions reporting work, all of which rest on the same activity data. Welsh public bodies in the area report against devolved frameworks, so statutory reporting requirements differ from England.

Swansea University has strong engineering and materials research, with lower hiring competition than English core cities.

Economic anchors

  • steel and metals processing in the wider Swansea Bay area
  • a growing research and innovation campus
  • devolved public-sector employment

Where the clients sit

  • Swansea city centre
  • Swansea Bay Campus
  • Fabian Way corridor
  • Baglan

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 Swansea

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what metals and materials and public sector 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.
