ICV Score Improvement & Diagnostic Review in the UAE

In-Country Value (ICV) is a UAE government program, led by ADNOC and adopted across Abu Dhabi's public sector, that scores suppliers on how much they contribute to the UAE's economy β€” through Emiratisation, local spend, and local manufacturing β€” and a higher ICV score directly improves a company's competitiveness in government and semi-government tenders. ISZ Global provides ICV diagnostic reviews and score-improvement consultancy for suppliers based in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain.

The ICV certificate quantifies how much value a company retains within the UAE economy β€” covering local spend on goods and services, Emiratisation of the workforce, local manufacturing, and asset investment. Entities such as ADNOC and its group companies weight ICV scores heavily in supplier evaluation and tender scoring, meaning a low ICV score can directly cost a company contracts, even at a competitive price.

Why Work With an ICV Consultant Rather Than Self-Certifying

ICV scoring methodology is detailed and frequently updated, and small misclassifications in the data submission can cost several percentage points on the final score β€” the difference between winning and losing a tender evaluation. An experienced ICV consultant reviews the submission the way an ICV certification body will, before it's submitted, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs an ICV certificate in the UAE?

Any company that supplies or wants to supply ADNOC, its group companies, or other Abu Dhabi government and semi-government entities typically needs an ICV certificate to be eligible for tender evaluation.

How often is the ICV certificate renewed?

ICV certification is generally renewed annually, based on the company's most recent audited financial year.

Can a small or mid-sized company improve its ICV score significantly in one cycle?

Yes β€” most score improvement comes from correcting how existing data is categorized and evidenced, not from major operational changes, so meaningful gains in a single cycle are common with the right diagnostic review.
