CAT SERVICES in La Alfoquia.

Most important - in province of Almería you need a reason to get a NIE, such as major purchase i.e. car or house. There pre-sales invoice will be required to be produced (if buying a car, you may well be required to produce Padrón as well, FYI)
Why is NIE needed? May be better able to advise if it’s known for what it is required.

I am renting a property long term and the owners need to declare me for tax reasons. I will also be paying for utilities so assume I will need an NIE for this and to open a Spanish bank account?

I believe if by long term you mean more than three months, you will need to look at Residencia.
I would contact CAT services in La Alfoquia as per Bobs suggestion - they will be able to advise on best course of action. I cannot say for certain whether renting an apartment will be sufficient justification for officialdom in Almería to issue NIE ..... they would certainly want to see at least a rental contract as proof.
Hopefully that will be enough because obtaining Residencia, whilst achievable, is far from easy or speedy. Residencia will first require you to have a Padrón, which in turn will require a rental contract, passport etc.
Getting simply a NIE may be quickest way short term, but if you are here for more than 3 months, you will have to start the Residencia process - more so now with Brexit looming, as how Spain will respond to that is anyone’s guess!
Try emailing [email protected] or phone 950 634 388 (landline) or 627 635 514 (mobile)

When you seek residency you also automatically obtain an NIE number.

Indeed you do, but OP indicated they needed a speedy NIE; obtaining Residencia is most certainly not speedy, hence my suggestion to see if she could get just NIE first ....

Are you physically in the UK now or at any point in the near future? Fastest easiest way to get NIE may be through the Spanish consulate in London...
