Working on one of National Highways’ most prestigious projects, GCC was engaged as Commercial Manager within a wider multidisciplinary team, providing comprehensive commercial oversight across several key subcontract packages. Drawing on our extensive experience particularly in pre-contract NEC procedures we managed the full subcontract process including procurement, tendering, negotiation, and contract award. We administered the NEC suite of contracts with full compliance, ensuring robust contract management, clear change control, and effective risk allocation on behalf of the client.

In a senior commercial role, GCC were responsible for the full management of subcontractor packages, change control, commercial reporting, and contract administration.
