Professional ICV certification support
CLA Emirates provides professional ICV certification support to help businesses accurately present their contribution to the UAE economy through qualifying local expenditure, investment, Emiratisation, and other relevant activities. Our team reviews financial information, supporting records, and relevant expenditure to help establish a well-supported ICV position. Through our partnership with authorised ICV certifying body, we support businesses throughout the certification process.
Demonstrating your contribution to the UAE economy
The national ICV program encourages businesses to create and retain greater economic value within the UAE by promoting local procurement, investment, employment, and the development of national capabilities. CLA Emirates helps businesses identify and organise the financial information relevant to their ICV position, enabling them to demonstrate their contribution to the local economy through a structured and credible certification process.
Strengthening your competitive position
An ICV certificate can be an important consideration for businesses participating in procurement opportunities where ICV forms part of the evaluation process. A stronger ICV score may enhance a supplier's competitive position when tenders and contracts are assessed alongside other commercial and technical criteria. CLA Emirates helps businesses prepare their financial information and supporting documentation so their qualifying contribution can be appropriately reflected.
End-to-end ICV certification support
Through our partnership with authorised ICV certifying body, CLA Emirates provides coordinated support throughout the ICV certification journey. Our assistance can include initial assessment, financial data compilation, supporting documentation, ICV calculations, audit and review requirements, submission coordination, and follow-up during the certification process. This gives businesses a structured point of support from preparation through to certification.
Supporting opportunities in government & major projects
ICV can be particularly relevant for businesses seeking procurement opportunities with government entities and major organisations participating in the National ICV Program. Where ICV forms part of the tender evaluation, a stronger score can contribute to a supplier's overall competitive position. CLA Emirates helps businesses prepare their ICV information carefully and accurately so they are accurately positioned to participate in relevant tenders and pursue opportunities across the UAE.
How can ICV certification benefit your business?
How can ICV certification help strengthen a business's competitive position?
ICV certification allows businesses to demonstrate their contribution to the UAE economy through qualifying local activities. Where ICV is considered during procurement, a stronger score can provide an advantage within the evaluation process, potentially strengthening a supplier's position when pursuing government-related tenders and major projects. It does not, however, guarantee the award of a contract, as procurement decisions consider multiple commercial, technical, and other criteria.
What is ICV certification in the UAE?
The National In-Country Value (ICV) Certificate reflects a supplier's contribution to the UAE economy and is issued through the National ICV Program by authorised certifying bodies. The programme is administered by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT).
