GXO will manage the supply and distribution of FIT kits working with partners, MAST, the end-to-end diagnostic kitting partner.

Eric Finton James, senior director for healthcare at GXO UK & Ireland, said: ‘This agreement aligns with the NHS 10-Year Health Plan to move care from hospitals to community settings, with a continued focus on prevention.

‘FIT home testing kits help identify those at risk of cancer who require further tests, and their provision is an essential component of NHS England's screening pathway. Our expertise will ensure that those who need a test receive it, and that laboratories conducting the tests have the equipment they need to successfully screen patients.'

NHS Supply Chain selected GXO as its new logistics partner in 2025.
