Overview

How it works in the UAE

The National In Country Value programme scores suppliers on how much they spend in the UAE economy: local goods and services, Emirati employment, investment and more. The score is calculated from your audited financial statements and issued by an approved certifying body. Many federal entities and major companies weigh it in tender evaluations.

We prepare the ICV submission template from your audited accounts, coordinate with the certifying body and help you improve the score over time. For ISO, we help you prepare documentation and connect with accredited certification bodies for standards such as ISO 9001.
