National Highways Experience

Overview

JAGAN has delivered commercial leadership across a broad portfolio of highways schemes on the strategic road network — from major link roads and smart-motorway works to maintenance and coastal-defence schemes — for Highways England (now National Highways) and its delivery partners.

The Commercial Challenge

Highways schemes on the strategic road network combine live-traffic constraints, demanding change environments and rigorous public-client governance. Each requires disciplined change control, robust cost management and a clear contractual strategy to deliver value under scrutiny.

JAGAN's Commercial Leadership

Across these schemes JAGAN led commercial and change management — establishing procedures, negotiating change and settlements with clients and supply chains, and setting up the cost and value management systems that underpinned delivery.
