About PlacementHub

The right care, cleaning or transport — faster.

PlacementHub is a bidding marketplace for care placements, specialist cleaning and patient transport. It exists to take the friction out of finding and awarding the right provider — for discharge teams, brokerage officers, social workers and care homes alike — while keeping sensitive data off the platform entirely.

Why it exists

Whether it's a discharge team clearing a ward, a brokerage officer sourcing a care placement, or a care home needing specialist cleaning — the sourcing process has traditionally meant hours on the phone chasing availability and quotes. PlacementHub replaces that with a single de-identified request that reaches every matched, available, verified provider at once, so the right choice can be made far faster than a ring-round.

Who it's for

Brokerage & social work teams

Ring-round sourcing takes hours you don't have. When someone is ready to leave hospital, every extra day of delay is a day too many. PlacementHub turns a morning of phone calls into one posted request and a side-by-side comparison of real bids, whether you're sourcing a care placement, a specialist clean or a journey.

Hospital discharge teams

Getting a patient home safely without tying up an acute bed is one of the sharpest pressures in the system. Post de-identified requirements for a placement or patient transport, and matched providers bid directly. No patient data leaves your systems until you award.

Care homes

Sourcing specialist cleaning or patient transport means chasing quotes by phone. Post the job on PlacementHub, compare bids from credentialled contractors, and award the one that fits, without chasing anyone by phone.

Providers

Care homes, cleaning contractors and transport operators receive requests that match their services and the boroughs they cover. Bid on the work that fits you and keep 100% of the rate you quote.

How we work

De-identified by design

Requests carry requirement bands only — age band, care needs, mobility, funding type. No names, addresses, DOBs or NHS numbers ever touch the platform. Identifying detail is shared directly between the parties, after award.

Verified, not just listed

Care providers carry their CQC rating. Credentials such as DBS, CHAS and transport licensing are checked before a provider receives the verified badge.

A human touch

Automated matching and instant notifications, with a real person following up when a request is quiet, so nothing is quietly left without a provider.

Who's behind it

PlacementHub is built and operated by Aclean Solutions Ltd. The directory is free and open to everyone, with no login needed to browse. Accounts for posting requests and bidding are set up by invitation.
