Consultancy
HawkBS consultancy engagements are productised: defined deliverables, a fixed price, and a known end date. No open-ended retainers, no scope drift. Each engagement is delivered directly by senior consultants with 30+ years of UK contracting experience across financial services, government, utilities, and hospitality — never offshored or sub-contracted.
The shape of the work is deliberately small and decisive. A week or two, a clear deliverable in your hands at the end, and a costed roadmap if you want to take the next step.
Engagements
- .NET 10 Modernisation Audit — £3,000
Five-day audit for teams still running .NET Framework 4.x. You walk away with an architecture review, risk register, phased migration roadmap, and a fixed-price quote for the migration itself. Fee credited if you proceed within 90 days.
- Bespoke Integration Build
A focused .NET service or app that bridges two of your business systems and removes a piece of repeated manual work. Production-grade engineering: validation against live data, tested, observable, deployed on AWS or Azure. Fixed-price quote after a 20-minute scoping call.
Recent builds — a GL journal importer for Unit 4 ERPx, a Concur expenses supplier updater.
- Bespoke Line-of-Business Application
A complete production-grade application built around the way your business actually works — case management, scheduling, internal portals, claims or registration workflows, custom dashboards. .NET / C# back end, Blazor or Angular front end, hosted on Azure or AWS, Entra ID for authentication.
Scoped through one or two discovery conversations and quoted as a fixed price. Delivered in phases, with working software at the end of each.
Recent work — the DEFRA Packaging Exporter and Reprocessing site (.NET 8 + Azure Functions), Anglian Water Health & Safety Solutions (Azure + Angular), and the Care Quality Commission registration platform (.NET Core, GDS-compliant).
