Procurement officers and primes shortlist suppliers in minutes, so this capability statement puts the codes, certifications and past contracts they search for on the first pages. The sample is set up for an engineering firm and runs to six pages: disciplines, equipment, accreditations, projects and contact details, with a guide page at the end.

The sample shows how a finished statement reads for Kingfisher Row Trading, a fictional engineering firm. Every figure is sample data, including the contract values, the injury rate and the lot numbers. Replace them with your registered details, your current certificates and three recent contracts, then keep the layout as it is.
