Procurement officers and primes shortlist suppliers from a capability statement, so a vague one costs bids. This capability statement template gives a contractor a 12-slide Google Slides deck covering the company, capabilities, projects, safety record and team. Each slide has a fixed layout and a headline that states the point, with slots for the codes, certifications and contract values that bid portals search on.

The sample shows Larkspur Supply, a fictional Tulsa contractor with 34 staff, $6.8 million turnover and three past contracts worth $4.1 million in total. Replace the company details, codes, turnover and staff figures with your registered data first. Then rewrite the capabilities with tender keywords, enter your recent contracts with client, value, date and outcome, and name a bids lead.
