FAQ
We've never won a government contract. Is it too late to start?
Not at all, and this is the ideal time to start in both markets. In the US, SAM.gov posts over 24,000 new contract opportunities per month and the federal government spent $4.4 trillion in FY 2026, including routine services like IT, staffing, training, and facilities
What is the difference between US and UK government contracting?
The US federal market centres on SAM.gov registration, NAICS codes, set-aside programmes (8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB), and contract vehicles like GSA Schedules, IDIQs, and GWACs. The UK public sector market uses Find a Tender and Contracts Finder for opportunity discovery.
What is a capability statement and do I need one?
A capability statement is a concise professional document, typically one to two pages, that describes what your organisation does, who you serve, your relevant credentials, and your differentiators.
What US set-aside programmes might my business qualify for?
US set-aside programmes reserve a portion of federal contracts for specific business categories: 8(a) for small disadvantaged businesses, SDVOSB for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, HUBZone for businesses in historically underutilised zones, and WOSB for women-owned small businesses
How do UK government frameworks work and how do I get on one?
UK framework agreements, managed by the Government Commercial Agency and other contracting authorities, pre-approve a shortlist of suppliers for a specific category of goods or services. Once on a framework, buyers can award contracts directly via call-offs without running a full tender.
Do I need past performance to win government contracts?
Past performance is one of the most common barriers for new entrants, but it is manageable. In the US, subcontracting under an established prime contractor is the standard pathway to building initial past performance
Can you help with both US and UK government contracting in one engagement?
Yes, the Capture Command package covers both markets with dual-market registration strategy, framework selection, capability positioning, and a 12-month pipeline across both the US federal and UK public sector landscapes.
Once I have a strategy, can you help me actually write and submit bids?
Yes, this gig is the strategic foundation. Once you are positioned, registered, and pipeline-ready, my Procurement Strategist gig covers the full bid response process: compliance matrices, win theme development, RFP/ITT drafting, ESG/social value sections, and submission-readiness review
Do you guarantee I will win contracts after this?
What I deliver is a well-informed, realistic market entry strategy that positions your business correctly for the opportunities you are most likely to win.
