CARE FOR EVERY SITUATION
The UK’s first centralised platform for sourcing and securing care placements across
the entire care spectrum.
Purpose Built for Care
PLACENTRAL™ is purpose-built by the care sector for the care sector - not adapted from another industry. Every feature is designed in partnership with commissioners, providers, landlords, and agencies, ensuring the platform solves real challenges across children’s and adults’ services.
One Platform. Every Partner.
Unlike other systems that only cover specific service types, PLACENTRAL™ unites the entire care spectrum for adults and children’s care in one place. Local authorities, ICBs, and providers can connect, source, and secure available placements instantly - cutting delays and optimising resources.
Faster Placements. Better Outcomes.
PLACENTRAL™ eliminates fragmented outreach by centralising placement sourcing and securing. This reduces empty beds, speeds up decision-making, and ensures people in need of care don’t face unnecessary waits. By saving time and resources, every partner can focus on delivering better outcomes.
Transforming the Way Care Placements Are Sourced and Secured
PLACENTRAL™ exists to unite care commissioners and care providers across the entire care spectrum in one centralised platform. By replacing fragmented systems with a unified system, we enable smarter commissioning, wider placement options, and stronger collaboration across local authorities, ICBs, providers, landlords, and agencies.
Our platform gives commissioners real-time and future visibility of placement availability, supporting better permanence planning and allowing services to plan for future needs well in advance. As people’s needs change, PLACENTRAL™ makes the transition between service types seamless, ensuring continuity of care and stability for those who need it most.
For the first time, the whole market is brought together in one place to:
- Promote regional collaboration and support local placements for local people.
- Provide data-rich insights to inform fair, transparent, smarter decisions.
- Streamline resources so that time, money, and effort are saved for all users.
The result is faster decisions, reduced wait times, better outcomes, and less stress for children, young people, and adults who need care - all while making commissioning more sustainable and effective for the future.
