How to Strengthen Your Tender Responses with Method Statements

πŸ” Why Method Statements Matter

Commissioners want to understand how you deliver safe, effective, person-centred care. A method statement breaks down your approach step-by-step, demonstrating consistency, governance, and alignment with legislation and best practice.

Clear method statements give evaluators confidence in your processes and people.


πŸ“‹ How to Use Method Statements Effectively

  • Align them to CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-Led)
  • Describe step-by-step processes clearly and concisely
  • Embed evidence of quality assurance and monitoring
  • Use them to showcase best practice, co-production, and governance
  • Tailor them for each tender β€” avoid generic, recycled content

πŸ’‘ Common Topics for Method Statements

Safeguarding, safer recruitment, staff retention, quality assurance, person-centred planning, outcomes, positive risk-taking, and more.
