GXO Logistics announced that it has been selected by NHS England to manage the national distribution of Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) home testing kits for the bowel cancer screening programme across England. The contract will see GXO oversee the supply chain for FIT kits, working with partners MAST and RDi to deliver kits to eligible participants and ensure laboratories have the necessary equipment for testing.
The deal expands GXO’s presence in the UK healthcare logistics market and adds a new, recurring revenue stream tied to a government‑backed public health initiative. Management highlighted that the partnership aligns with the NHS 10 Year Health Plan, which aims to shift care to community settings and focus on prevention. “GXO’s solutions are purpose‑built for the complex and highly regulated needs of healthcare supply chains, and we are proud to be selected by NHS England to deliver this important national programme,” said Gavin Williams, Managing Director, GXO UK & Ireland.
The contract is part of GXO’s broader strategy to grow its healthcare logistics footprint. In 2025 the company secured a landmark 10‑year, $2.5 billion contract with NHS Supply Chain, and it has since added agreements with Siemens Healthineers in the U.S. and bioMérieux in Europe. The new NHS England contract reinforces GXO’s ability to win large, long‑term contracts in a key growth area and signals investor confidence in its execution capabilities.
Market reaction to the announcement was positive. Shares of GXO rose 2.7 % in pre‑market trading on Monday, March 30 , reflecting the market’s view that the contract strengthens the company’s recurring revenue base and positions it for further opportunities in the NHS supply‑chain space.
