Our service includes:
Every capability statement is tailored to your business, industry and objectives, ensuring the final document presents your capabilities in a professional, procurement-ready format.
Why Should a Capability Statement Be Tailored for Newcastle and the Hunter?
A capability statement should reflect the buyers, industries and opportunities you’re targeting. While your core business information remains the same, different organisations may look for different experience, qualifications and supporting evidence depending on the project or procurement process.
Tailoring your capability statement helps ensure the most relevant information is presented clearly and professionally, making it easier for buyers to assess your suitability for the opportunity.
A tailored capability statement can support:
Rather than creating a new document for every submission, we develop capability statements that can be adapted for different buyers while maintaining consistent business information and branding.
What Evidence Do Procurement Buyers Look For?
Government agencies, commercial organisations and principal contractors may assess different information depending on the procurement process and the opportunity. A capability statement should present the information that helps buyers understand your experience, services and ability to deliver the required work.
An effective capability statement typically highlights:
Where evaluation criteria are available, your capability statement should make relevant evidence easy to identify. For commercial opportunities, the document should focus on presenting your capabilities clearly and professionally while supporting your broader proposal or tender submission.
What Should the Finished Document Include?
An effective capability statement provides buyers with the information they need to understand your business, assess your experience and determine whether you’re a suitable fit for an opportunity. While the content should always reflect your target audience, most professional capability statements include the following components.
Company overview
A concise introduction to your business, including who you are, what you do and the markets you serve. This establishes context before introducing your services and experience.
Core capabilities
A clear summary of your services, areas of expertise and operational capacity, supported by information that reflects your current capabilities.
Key differentiators
The characteristics that distinguish your business, such as specialist expertise, systems, resources or industry experience. These should be supported by evidence rather than broad marketing claims.
Relevant experience
Examples of completed projects or previous work that demonstrate your ability to deliver similar outcomes. Relevant, well-presented examples are generally more valuable than a long list of unrelated projects.
Clients and project evidence
Where appropriate, include approved client names, testimonials or project summaries that support your experience while respecting confidentiality requirements.
Licences, certifications and compliance
Relevant licences, accreditations, insurance, safety systems and quality management processes that demonstrate your business meets industry and procurement requirements.
Resources and delivery capability
Information about your team, equipment, locations or operational capacity that helps buyers understand your ability to deliver the work.
Contact details
Clear contact information and a simple call to action so prospective clients can easily request further information or begin the procurement process.
How Do Writing and Design Improve the Document?
A capability statement is only as effective as the way it’s written and presented. Strong content explains why your business is qualified for the opportunity, while thoughtful design helps buyers find that information quickly and confidently.
Professional writing
We turn your business knowledge into structured, evidence-based content that reflects your experience, capabilities and strengths without relying on generic marketing language.
Our copywriting focuses on:
Professional design
Good design makes the document easier to read, navigate and understand. Rather than decorating the page, it supports the content by organising information in a way that’s clear and consistent.
Our design process includes:
By combining evidence-led writing with purposeful design, we create capability statements that communicate your strengths clearly while making it easier for buyers to assess your business.
Which Newcastle and Hunter Industries Do We Support?
We create capability statements for businesses across Newcastle and the Hunter Region, tailoring each document to the intended buyer, industry and procurement opportunity. The type of evidence included will vary depending on the work you’re pursuing.
Energy and renewables
Capability statements for energy businesses may highlight comparable project experience, technical capability, environmental systems, delivery capacity and other evidence relevant to the opportunity.
Defence and aerospace
For defence-related opportunities, the document can be tailored to include the security, personnel, site or technical information requested by the buyer, where applicable.
Construction and infrastructure
Construction capability statements often focus on project delivery, safety systems, qualifications, prequalification, resources and experience with similar projects, depending on the procurement requirements.
Engineering and manufacturing
Engineering and manufacturing businesses typically present their technical expertise, production capability, quality systems, specialist equipment and experience delivering complex projects.
Government and professional services
Capability statements for government and professional services are tailored to the specific procurement process, highlighting relevant experience, organisational capability and supporting evidence requested by the buyer.
Health and community services
Where relevant, capability statements can include regulated-environment experience, licences, privacy, safety or other compliance information applicable to the services being provided.
When Is NSW Local-Supplier Policy Relevant?
Some NSW Government procurement opportunities include local supplier requirements, but these vary depending on the agency, procurement method and the opportunity.
For applicable NSW Government procurements, Procurement Board Direction (PBD) 2024-02 requires agencies to test the local market, provide identified NSW suppliers with a full and fair opportunity to participate, and record why an available local supplier was not selected where relevant. This should not be confused with the proposed Local Jobs First reforms, which are separate policy proposals and may not apply to every procurement.
If local supplier participation or other procurement requirements are relevant to your opportunity, we’ll tailor your capability statement to reflect the published procurement documentation and the evidence requested by the buyer.
How Does Our Process Work?
Creating a capability statement is a collaborative process that combines your business knowledge with our writing and design expertise. We follow a structured five-stage approach to ensure the finished document is accurate, professionally presented and tailored to its intended use.
1
Discovery
We begin by learning about your business, services, target buyers and the opportunities you’re pursuing. This helps us define the purpose of the document and identify the information we’ll need.
Planning
Next, we organise your information, review the available material and develop a content structure that highlights your strengths and supports the intended audience.
2
3
Content Development
Using your approved information, we write clear, evidence-based content that presents your capabilities, experience and key differentiators in a logical, easy-to-follow format.
Design
Once the content is approved, we apply your branding and create a professional layout that improves readability and makes important information easy to locate.

5
Review and Final Delivery
You’ll have the opportunity to review the draft before we incorporate your feedback and prepare the agreed final files for delivery.
What Information Do We Need From You?
Every capability statement is built around verified information about your business. We don’t expect everything to be perfectly organised before the project begins—we’ll help identify what’s needed and structure the information throughout the process.
To prepare your capability statement, we’ll typically request:
Before the document is finalised, we’ll work with you to confirm that names, project details, claims and supporting information are accurate and approved for publication.
One Capability Statement, Multiple Opportunities
A professionally developed capability statement doesn’t need to be recreated every time you pursue a new opportunity. We structure each document as a strong foundation that can be refined for different tenders, supplier registrations and commercial proposals as your business grows.
Rather than starting from scratch, we can tailor key sections—such as your featured services, project experience, qualifications and supporting evidence—to better align with the intended buyer or procurement opportunity while maintaining consistent branding and messaging.
This approach helps you:
While a capability statement is an important supporting document, it complements rather than replaces a tender response. Where buyers request specific evaluation criteria or detailed responses, those requirements should still be addressed separately.
What Affects Capability Statement Cost and Turnaround?
Every capability statement project is different, so the final cost and delivery timeframe depend on the scope of work required. We’ll review your requirements before providing a tailored quotation and project schedule.
| Project | Typical investment |
|---|---|
| Basic capability statement | From $1,500 |
| Most projects | $1,500–$3,500+ |
| Complex projects | $3,500+ |
Project pricing may vary depending on:
