What Commissioners Look For in Home Care Tender Method Statements
In a home care tender, method statements are where you show commissioners exactly how you will deliver the service. They test not just your processes but your ability to adapt to local needs, meet contractual requirements, and deliver outcomes for service users.
📄 Be Clear and Structured
Commissioners want method statements that are easy to read and evaluate. Use clear headings, logical flow, and avoid jargon. Break down your answer into:
- What you will do
- How you will do it
- When and by whom
📊 Evidence Your Claims
Strong method statements include proof, not just promises. Add:
- Performance data from similar contracts
- Case studies showing successful delivery
- References to compliance with CQC standards
📍 Make It Locally Relevant
Commissioners will score higher if they see you’ve tailored your approach to their area. This might include:
- Addressing known workforce or travel challenges
- Referencing local partnerships and networks
- Demonstrating awareness of community needs
🚫 Avoid Common Pitfalls
Watch out for vague statements, copied text from other bids, and failure to link actions to measurable outcomes. These can all drop your score.
