The Role of Method Statements in Winning Social Care Tenders
🔍 Why Method Statements Matter in Tenders
Method statements are a crucial part of social care tender submissions. They show commissioners how your organisation delivers safe, compliant, person-centred services — not just in theory, but in practice.
Strong method statements demonstrate competence, quality assurance, safeguarding processes, staff training, and how you achieve positive outcomes for people using your service.
📋 What Should a Good Method Statement Cover?
While topics vary by tender, common themes include:
- Safeguarding Adults and Safer Recruitment
- Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement
- Staff Retention, Supervision, and Training
- Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
- Person-Centred Care Planning
- Social Value and Community Engagement
Your method statements should provide clear, concise, and practical evidence of how you meet CQC standards and contractual requirements.
💡 Top Tips for Tender Success

- Align responses to tender questions and commissioner priorities.
