What order should the statement follow?

Lead with relevance, then make the evidence easy to verify. Remove empty sections rather than filling them with vague claims.

Common questions

What else should the bid team know?

Is this a graphic design template?

No. It structures the content and evidence before layout.

Can the template use customer logos?

Only with explicit permission. A factual project reference does not automatically authorise logo use.

Should the statement be customised?

Yes. Select the services and proof relevant to the current buyer and opportunity.
