What we do
Compair AI standardises UK council commercial data into one comparable dataset and layers analytics and AI to reveal insight, risk and opportunity.
“The Freedom of Information Act opened the door to transparency. Compair AI walks through it and makes the information count.” – Jordan, Founder
Councils
“Stop comparing apples with pears.”
“Stop comparing apples with pears.”
“Stop comparing apples with pears.”
Challenge: Council commercial data is published in inconsistent formats, so benchmarking across local authorities is painful. Savings identification and risk spotting often feel impossible.
How Compair AI helps: We standardise spend, contracts, suppliers, departments and categories into one clean view, so you can compare like-for-like and act with confidence.
Suppliers & Partners
"Identify where you fit, and who you’re up against"
"Identify where you fit, and who you’re up against"
"Identify where you fit, and who you’re up against"
Challenge: The market is fragmented, and it is hard to see demand, incumbents, and spend patterns without weeks of manual work.
How Compair AI helps: We turn published council data into practical market intelligence, standardised across authorities. You can quickly spot which councils buy your services and identify areas for growth or risk.
Our platform helps suppliers understand market share, competitor presence and upcoming opportunities.
Residents
“Clearly see how your taxpayer money is spent”
“Clearly see how your taxpayer money is spent”
“Clearly see how your taxpayer money is spent”
Challenge: Transparency data exists, but it is often hard to interpret or compare because each council publishes it differently.
How Compair AI helps: We simplify and standardise the data into an easy, searchable experience. Residents can explore local spending patterns, understand what’s being bought and from whom, and compare areas more fairly, without needing to download spreadsheets or be a data expert.
Our mission
Compair AI was founded with a clear intention: to unlock the full value of UK council commercial data and use it to drive a new era of transparency, insight, and decision-making across local government.
The UK is one of the world’s leading economies, yet its council commercial data has historically been fragmented, inconsistent, and underused. Valuable information has existed in plain sight, published in hundreds of different formats, but rarely brought together, trusted, or analysed at scale.

The UK is one of the world’s leading economies, yet its council commercial data has historically been fragmented, inconsistent, and underused. Valuable information has existed in plain sight, published in hundreds of different formats, but rarely brought together, trusted, or analysed at scale.
Compair AI changes this.
We have built a single, unified dataset capturing all 317 English councils, standardised into a common structure for the first time at this scale.
On top of this foundation, we apply advanced analytics, data science, and AI-driven insight to a dataset of national significance.
We believe insight should be accessible, not hidden behind complexity. Our platform is designed to be modern, intuitive, and visual, transforming complex public data into clear stories that people can understand and act upon.
Our mission is to become the authoritative national source of truth for UK council commercial intelligence, empowering councils, suppliers, partners, journalists, and residents with data they can trust, insight they can understand, and tools built for the next generation of public-sector decision-making.

Our Three Pillars
A unified national dataset
We have built a single, standardised dataset covering all 317 English councils. By normalising spend, contracts, and supplier data into a common structure, we make council commercial data comparable for the first time at national scale. This creates a trusted source of truth that enables meaningful benchmarking and collaboration across authorities.

Advanced analytics and AI
With a dataset of national significance in place, we apply advanced analytics, data science, and AI-driven insight to an area that has historically been under-analysed. Our approach reveals patterns, trends, risk, and opportunity across council commercial activity, bringing modern analytical capability to procurement and commercial functions that have long been underserved.
