Expert In-Country Value (ICV) advisory for UAE companies — score assessment, audited-financials coordination, score-improvement strategy and recertification support. We help you maximise your ICV score so you rank higher in government and major-entity tender evaluations.
The National In-Country Value (ICV) Program is run by the UAE Ministry of Industry & Advanced Technology (MoIAT). An ICV certificate measures how much of your company's spend and activity is retained inside the UAE economy — expressed as a single percentage score, generated by MoIAT's standardized formula from your audited financial data.
The ICV score is a percentage of your total spend and activity retained in the UAE economy — calculated by MoIAT's standardized formula, not by anyone's judgement.
In 2026 scores are generated through MoIAT's Digital Conformity Ecosystem. The certifying body has no discretion — the score comes straight from your audited numbers.
The certificate is a digital credential, verifiable by QR code against MoIAT's live database — so tendering entities can confirm it is genuine instantly.
An ICV certificate is valid for 14 months from the date of the audited financial statements it is based on. Renewal needs updated financials and a fresh submission.
A higher ICV score gives you preference when government and major entities evaluate bids. Suppliers with stronger scores rank higher and win more tenders.
ICV originated with ADNOC and is now a national requirement across UAE government procurement. If you sell to public-sector and major entities, your ICV score is part of how you are judged.
Because the score is system-generated from audited data, it is objective and comparable. Improve the underlying drivers and your score — and your win rate — improves with it.
Spend with UAE-based suppliers and manufacturers that stays inside the local economy. Local manufacturing and local sourcing add bonuses to your score.
The proportion of Emirati nationals in your workforce versus expatriate staff. Stronger Emiratisation earns bonus weighting in the ICV formula.
Capital invested in plant, equipment, facilities and other fixed assets located in the UAE — a direct, lasting contribution to the local economy.
Revenue generated from within the UAE. Together with the components above, MoIAT's standardized formula converts your audited figures into a single ICV percentage.
Re-route procurement to local, UAE-based suppliers and manufacturers wherever practical. Local sourcing and local manufacturing directly lift the score and carry bonuses.
Increasing Emirati employment and investing in UAE-based assets both add bonus weighting. We model the impact before you commit, so changes translate into real score gains.
