What past performance sections include
Past performance sections typically cover project name, client, scope, timeline, team size, outcomes, and relevance to the current opportunity. Some solicitations specify format requirements or reference templates.
Why past performance matters
Evaluators use past performance to assess whether your organization can deliver what it is proposing. Strong examples reduce perceived risk and demonstrate operational credibility.
How to use this template
Select past projects that are most relevant to the buyer's requirements. Emphasize outcomes, scale, and specific capabilities that align with the solicitation. Avoid vague descriptions — be specific about what was delivered and how it performed.
How Proper Draft helps
Proper Draft helps teams maintain a library of past performance entries so relevant examples can be found, customized, and assembled faster across proposals.
