Contracting and Capability Statements

Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.

Whether you're looking to win new clients, grow your business by submitting requests for tender or market your business better, a capability statement can help.

A capability statement outlines what you can offer potential clients and provides the essential details to help them decide whether to do business with you. It can also be used to open doors to new suppliers or incorporated into tender documents. 

For this workshop you will need a laptop or computer to complete activities.

This topic covers:

• How tenders fit into the procurement process and the requirements for developing a compliant and competitive bid
• Locate tender opportunities and identify tenders that may be right for your business
• The importance of capability statements and how to prepare one
• Your obligations when engaging contractors
• How procurement can benefit your business

This session is for businesses wishing to submit tenders or contracts to grow their business.

Director Mark Small has more than 17 years experience as a safety professional.
