Data and analytics consultancy in York

York sits in North Yorkshire, with an economy built on rail and public transport, tourism, hospitality and events, 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.

York 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

York's rail sector presence means performance-regime and delay-attribution analytics appear here far more than city size would suggest, and those rules are contractual rather than approximate. The visitor economy adds seasonality-heavy demand forecasting work with very different characteristics.

The University of York and York St John provide analytics graduates, with rail and research employers competing for them.

Economic anchors

  • rail industry engineering and operations functions
  • a very large visitor economy relative to population
  • bioscience and agri-tech research

Where the clients sit

  • York city centre
  • York Central
  • Monks Cross
  • the University of York science 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.
