There are many capability statement examples available online


A quick search on Google or other search engines will bring up plenty of capability statement examples, samples and templates that can give you an idea of how these documents are structured.

Government agencies and other organisations may also provide guidelines or examples as part of their procurement processes, particularly when businesses are preparing to tender for work or become a supplier.


However, it is important to remember that a capability statement is not something that should simply be copied from another business. It can be difficult to provide one perfect example because capability statements are specific to the organisation they represent.


A construction company, IT business, professional services firm or contractor will all have different capabilities, experience, qualifications and clients to highlight.


An example can help you understand what information might be included, but your finished capability statement should be unique and bespoke to your company.


Your capability statement should be about your business


A good capability statement should tell potential clients or organisations who you are, what you do, what experience you have and why they should consider working with you. It should focus on the capabilities that are most relevant to the opportunities you are pursuing rather than simply listing everything your business offers.


This is where having a capability statement professionally written can make a difference. Instead of starting with a generic template and trying to make your business fit into it, the process should start with understanding your organisation, your experience, your strengths and the types of clients or contracts you want to attract.

Customisation: Every capability statement we create is tailored to the individual client. We take the time to understand your business, your services, your experience and your goals rather than simply providing a generic document with your company name added to it.


Professional writing: A capability statement needs to communicate information clearly and concisely. Our writers focus on creating professional content that explains what your business can offer while keeping the document easy for potential clients and decision-makers to read.


Professional design: Presentation also matters. A well-designed capability statement should look professional, reflect your brand and make important information easy to find. Our design approach complements the written content so the finished document presents your business in a professional way.


Focused on your goals: Ultimately, a capability statement should have a purpose. Whether you are looking to introduce your business to potential clients, pursue contracts, respond to procurement opportunities or strengthen your business development materials, the document should be created with that goal in mind.


A capability statement should not look like everyone else's


While online examples are useful for understanding what a capability statement can look like, the best approach is to use them for inspiration rather than copying them. Your business has its own experience, strengths and story, and your capability statement should reflect that.


At ClientCentric, we can help you develop a capability statement that is written and designed specifically for your organisation and the opportunities you are looking to pursue.
