GXO takes the reins on NHS logistics operations

NHS Supply Chain has named GXO as its new logistics partner in a move that signals a major operational shift—and a strategic opportunity. From October, GXO will manage the storage and delivery of over 35 million healthcare products annually, replacing the current provider under a seven-year contract, with an option to extend by three years.

For sustainability-focused leaders, this signals more than just a contract win. It’s a signal that logistics is ripe for innovation, tech integration and measurable impact. GXO’s commitment to productivity, tech-enabled optimisation and seamless home delivery via Polar Speed positions it as a key player in enhancing supply chain resilience while supporting NHS care delivery.

As pressure mounts on public systems to do more with less, this partnership is a timely case study in long-term value creation through operational excellence.
