ICV — In-Country Value
A certification programme assessing the in-country economic contribution of a supplier to the UAE — particularly Abu Dhabi. Required to bid for many Abu Dhabi government tenders.
In practice
ICV scoring considers local sourcing, local workforce, local investment and local revenue. Higher ICV scores improve competitiveness in tenders from ADNOC, ADQ, Mubadala, Aldar and other Abu Dhabi government-linked buyers. ArxSetup handles ICV certification as an add-on retainer.
