Preparing a Capability Statement That Survives Procurement Review

Government evaluators read hundreds of these. Structure, evidence and specificity decide whether yours advances.

By Jd Global Advisory Team

Lead with demonstrated outcomes

Evaluators discount capability claims that are not tied to delivered work. Open each capability area with a named engagement type, the scope delivered and the measurable result, then describe the method.

Match the buyer's language

Use the frameworks, clause references and terminology of the procuring agency. Where a panel or standing offer applies, reference it explicitly along with your registration details, ABN and insurance positions.

  • One page per capability area, maximum
  • Named standards and frameworks, not generic claims
  • Current insurances, certifications and registrations listed
  • A single point of contact with direct details
