UAE Unified In-Country Value Program

The In-Country Value (ICV) program is a strategic initiative by the UAE government designed to boost economic activity, stimulate GDP growth, and create opportunities for Emirati talent within the private sector. Under the Unified ICV framework, companies supplying goods and services to government entities and major national companies like ADNOC, Emirates Steel, and various federal procurement bodies must obtain ICV certification to qualify for contract awards. The ICV certificate measures a company's contribution to the UAE economy based on specific metrics including local procurement, Emiratization, investment in the country, and local manufacturing.

Almobaderoon Consulting provides comprehensive ICV certification services that guide businesses through the entire process—from initial eligibility assessment to certificate issuance by approved Certifying Bodies. Our ICV specialists understand the methodology, calculation frameworks, and documentation requirements needed to obtain certification efficiently. We work with businesses across all sectors including oil and gas, construction, technology, professional services, and manufacturing to ensure they meet ICV requirements and position themselves competitively for government procurement opportunities.

How the ICV Program Works

The ICV certification process involves calculating your company's economic contribution to the UAE across defined categories. Key metrics include the percentage of goods and services procured locally, the number of UAE Nationals employed, investments made within the country, and the extent of local manufacturing or value-addition. An approved Certifying Body reviews your financial data, payroll records, procurement documentation, and investment evidence to calculate your ICV score. This score is then issued on an official ICV certificate valid for one year, which procurement entities use as a weighted criterion in their tender evaluation processes.
