What We Do
End-to-end software & cloud delivery, under one roof
Most organisations don't need multiple vendors to build applications and manage cloud platforms — they need one partner who understands software engineering, architecture, planning, security, and support across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud (GCP). Baywater Consulting covers the full lifecycle.
Where most engagements start
Three entry points. One connected journey.
These are the services most organisations start with — and the ones that connect into everything else we do.
Cloud Migration Planning
Not sure what ‘moving to the cloud’ should even look like for you?
We map your current environment, flag the risks, and hand you an actionable roadmap — before a single workload moves.
See how planning worksSet Up & Migration
From mailboxes to entire application estates.
We migrate your workloads with verified data integrity, minimal downtime, and a defined hypercare period once you're live.

Once you're in the cloud, we keep it that way.
Proactive monitoring, incident resolution, and cost/performance tuning delivered as a managed or co-managed service.

How an engagement runs
The same three-stage pattern runs across every service we deliver.
Onboarding & Assessment
We start with a readiness or baseline assessment: scope, risks, success criteria, and access are agreed up front, using least-privilege principles throughout.
Delivery
Work runs against agreed milestones and schedules (not vague timelines), with regular progress updates, issue tracking, and escalation paths built in.
Offboarding, or Ongoing
At exit, all your data, documentation, and artefacts are handed back — nothing is retained beyond what's agreed. Prefer to keep us on? Every service transitions cleanly into ongoing support.
Certifications & Credentials
Recognised & Independently Accredited
We hold industry-backed credentials and public sector approvals so you can engage our services with total confidence.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Across every service, customer data remains customer-owned throughout, and any data held by Baywater is returned or securely deleted at exit, in line with agreed retention and regulatory requirements.
Yes — all our services are built to support public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid architectures, and are vendor-neutral in planning and advisory work.
Delivery is remote by default across all services, with on-site support available by agreement where it's genuinely needed.
Every engagement uses least-privilege access, established securely during onboarding, and reviewed regularly. Access is revoked as part of a structured offboarding process at the end of every engagement.
Most services are designed to transition into ongoing support — refresher training, continued monitoring, regression testing, or continuous optimisation — so the value doesn't stop at go-live.
No. We support organisations at every stage — from early-stage cloud adoption and migration planning through to mature, multi-cloud estates.
Security is embedded throughout, not treated as a separate step: encrypted data in transit, secure credential handling, audit logging, and access validation are standard across migration, testing, and support work.
Yes, that's the default. Services are designed to connect: for example, migration planning feeds into setup & migration, which transitions into ongoing cloud support and financial management.
It depends on scope, platform, and the size of your estate, but our average engagement fee is £700 per day, reflecting delivered expertise and outcomes rather than a simple day-rate for resource. Smaller readiness assessments and larger multi-environment migrations will naturally fall at different points on that scale. Book a free consultation and we'll give you a clear, scoped estimate rather than a generic number.
Yes — we work across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, as well as private and hybrid environments, and we're platform-neutral in our planning and advisory work so our recommendations are based on your needs, not a vendor partnership.
We're a UK-based consultancy — registered in England and Wales, and a listed G-Cloud 15 supplier for UK public sector, healthcare, and education organisations — but our delivery model is remote-first, and we work with organisations across Europe and globally on the same terms.
Yes. We hold 8 live G-Cloud 15 listings on the gov.uk Digital Marketplace (Crown Commercial Service framework), covering cloud migration planning, set-up and migration, cloud support, security, QA and performance testing, cloud financial management, ongoing support, and training — giving public sector buyers a direct, pre-vetted procurement route.
