Quick answer

economAIcs is AI for public transport, two ways. The Brain is bid intelligence and compliance: purpose-built software operators and consultancies use to find, qualify and win contracts, trained on their own bids and built for the UK Procurement Act 2023. The Practice is our consulting arm, built at the join of AI and public transport: bid and procurement advisory on live tenders, and AI readiness, implementation and governance for operators and authorities, with build and run delivery for operators who choose it.

The convergence problem

Generic AI makes everyone the same. Your Brain makes you distinct.

Point the same generic AI at every bid and every bidder drifts toward the same grey middle: the same arguments, the same shape, the same answers. The distinctiveness that wins gets sanded off.

economAIcs works the other way. It learns your history, your win themes and your evidence, so your strategy, your positioning and your proof get sharper and more your own the more you use it. Not a different writing style. A different, defensible position.

Blending in versus standing outOn the left, every bid written with generic AI looks the same: a grey crowd. On the right, your own Brain makes your bid the one that stands out.Generic AIeveryone blends inYour Brainyou stand out

The Brain

One engine. Five modules.

The Brain

The engine

Your organisational memory: your bids, your evidence, your market, indexed and cited. Every module below draws on it, and every bid you run makes it smarter.

Compliance and trust

Know more. Trust every word of it.

  • Procurement Act 2023, native

    Built after the Act came into force in February 2025, so the new notice types, transparency obligations and evaluation frameworks are native rather than retrofitted.

  • Honest confidence, never a black box

    Every claim is source-cited and audit-logged. Predictions are labelled evidenced or assumed, never stated as fact, and the drivers always lead the number.

  • A PPN 017 audit trail per bid

    The AI-use transparency evidence sits in the platform by default, not in a spreadsheet you assemble after the fact.

Your data, your control. Never used to train a model, and exportable on exit.

From the Founding Cohort

Early, and honest.

  • True innovation is rare to find, but we feel we found that in economAIcs. As an early-stage company they are really pushing the boundaries of transport intelligence. They take on board our ideas and come back with solutions that are five steps ahead. The data we now have at our fingertips, used to inform big decisions, is more powerful than we even thought possible.

    Transport Operator · Founding Cohort

  • We always used to arrive at bids late, using guesswork and hours trawling through previous bids to rush something together. Our output has doubled while our input has halved. We have discovered opportunities and found intelligence we never knew existed. We can fully trust the output and its compliance, and it lets us bid with a new-found energy.

The Practice

Most consultants spend months working out what you have. Our AI reads your systems, documents and market position before we even meet, so we start with answers, not questionnaires.

That is AI Accelerated Discovery and Learning: a short intake and a small document pack, read by our transport-trained AI alongside your public footprint, before the first meeting. Then advice with a named next step, fixed scopes, no day rates, and for operators, we can build and run what the roadmap calls for.

FAQ

How do you say economAIcs?

economAIcs is pronounced economics. The capital AI in the middle is the point: AI built into transport economics, not bolted on.

What does economAIcs actually do?

economAIcs is AI for public transport, two ways. The Brain is bid intelligence and compliance: purpose-built software trained on an operator's own bids, built for the UK Procurement Act 2023. The Practice is our consulting arm, built at the join of AI and public transport.

Is YourTransportBrain just a bid-writing tool?

No. Writing is one module, Tactician, not the headline. Scout finds and qualifies tenders before you see them, Analyst interrogates a tender or a market for a bid or no-bid decision, and Steward is rolling out to capture post-award outcomes back into the Brain.

Do you work for both bidders and authorities?

Yes, but never on the same competition. The Brain serves bidders: operators, transport-tech vendors and consultancies. The Practice advises both bidders and public authorities under a published rule: Where we assure, we do not build. We never advise both sides of one competition.

Who is economAIcs built for?

Transport operators, transport-tech vendors and consultancies across bus, rail and ferry, bidding for UK public transport contracts. The Brain is built natively for the Procurement Act 2023, not retrofitted to it.
