GXO is set to lead BT’s supply chain outsourcing

10 February 2022/Categories: Industry News, Logistics & Supply Chain, Operations Management


BT Group (BT) and GXO Logistics Inc (GXO) have announced a partnership to outsource and transform part of BT Group’s supply chain across the UK.

BT will outsource its core warehouse and transport capabilities, while ensuring that the Group’s network build plans remain on track. 

For BT supply chain colleagues in warehouse, transport, and some support roles – around 300 colleagues in total – there will be a proposed transfer to GXO under a Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) or “TUPE” agreement.

 A further 300 third-party agency support roles will continue their work under the terms of the partnership. BT will retain critical expertise to ensure continuity of service. 

 

 Cyril Pourrat, Chief Procurement and Supply Chain Officer at BT Group:

“By working with a market leading logistics company, we’ll create opportunities to improve our service and support BT’s ambitious fixed and mobile network build plans as we transform the business into an organisation that delivers exceptional service, sustainable operations and value for our customers and our colleagues.” 

 

Gavin Williams, Managing Director of GXO UK and Ireland said:

 “We’re proud to announce an expansion of our long-term relationship with BT that makes us their preferred partner for all core supply chain activities. GXO will be supporting BT’s supply chain as it delivers its ambitious consumer and engineering activities. We’re going to deploy our technological expertise for a new end-to-end systems infrastructure that supports BT’s growth in fibre technology across the U.K.”
