Losing tenders to competitors with better ICV scores?
In the UAE’s oil, gas, and government contracting world, price and quality are no longer enough. Buyers like ADNOC and government entities score bidders on In-Country Value: how much of your business actually contributes to the UAE economy. A low ICV score loses tenders. A strong one wins them.
Many capable companies lose contracts they should have won, simply because their ICV certificate does not reflect their real local contribution, or because they never got certified at all.
Inspire MS Tax Consultancy provides specialist ICV certification services across the UAE. We prepare your ICV submission correctly, help you improve your score legitimately, and get your certificate issued without delays or rejections.

About ICV
ICV (In-Country Value) is a program that measures how much a company’s operations contribute to the UAE economy. It was pioneered by ADNOC and has been adopted across government procurement. Your ICV score reflects factors such as:
The ICV certificate is issued based on your audited financial statements, using a standardised formula. It is valid for 14 months from the date your audited financial statements were issued, so your renewal cycle follows your audit calendar rather than the calendar year.
For suppliers to ADNOC, government entities, and an expanding list of buyers, holding a valid ICV certificate is effectively mandatory for serious bidding. Your score directly affects tender evaluation.
Tender advantage. In evaluated tenders, ICV scoring can be the deciding factor between closely priced bids. A few percentage points of ICV improvement wins contracts worth millions.
Prequalification. Many buyers require ICV certification before you can even bid. No certificate, no invitation.
Commercial credibility. A strong ICV score signals genuine commitment to the UAE market, valued by partners and clients beyond formal tender scoring.
Improvement is possible. ICV scores are not fixed. Strategic changes in procurement, hiring, and investment can raise your score significantly. We show you how.
ICV Certificate Preparation and Filing. Complete preparation of your ICV submission: financial data extraction, template completion, supporting documentation, and filing with the certifying body.
ICV Score Improvement Advisory. Analysis of your current score drivers and a practical plan to raise it: procurement restructuring, Emiratisation planning, and investment timing.
Pre-Certification Review. Before you submit, we review your financials and ICV inputs to catch the errors that cause rejections and delays.
ICV Renewal Management. Annual renewal handled on schedule with updated financials, so your certificate never lapses during a tender cycle.
Integrated Audit and ICV Service. Because ICV certification is based on audited financials, we coordinate your audit and ICV submission as one streamlined exercise, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Step 1: Eligibility check. We confirm your company needs ICV certification and identify which buyers’ requirements apply to you.
Step 2: Financial preparation. Your audited financial statements form the basis of the ICV calculation. We ensure they are ready and correctly structured.
Step 3: ICV platform submission. Under the unified National ICV Program, applications go through the MoIAT (Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology) ICV platform, where you log in with UAE Pass, upload your audited financial statements, and select your certifying body. We complete the standard ICV template with your data and prepare the full submission, with proper allocation of costs between local and international spend.
Step 4: Submission and certification. We file with the certifying body and manage any queries until your ICV certificate is issued.
Step 5: Score improvement planning. We analyse your score and recommend legitimate strategies to improve it before the next cycle.

Trusted Connections
We collaborate with trusted partners who share our vision for excellence and lasting success.
An ICV (In-Country Value) certificate measures a company's contribution to the UAE economy based on its audited financials. It is used by ADNOC, government entities, and other buyers to score suppliers in tender evaluations.
Any company supplying to ADNOC or participating in tenders where ICV scoring applies. Increasingly, government and semi-government buyers across the UAE require it. If you bid for major contracts, you likely need it. New companies that have been operating for less than 10 months can also apply, using management (interim) accounts, so you do not have to wait for a full year of audited financials.
The score is derived from your audited financial statements using a standardised formula that weighs local procurement, workforce, investment, and related factors. The calculation follows prescribed templates and rules.
An ICV certificate is valid for 14 months from the date your audited financial statements were issued. We track your renewal dates against your audit calendar so your certificate never lapses.
Yes. Strategic changes in procurement (buying more locally), workforce planning (Emiratisation), and investment timing can raise your score. We analyse your score drivers and build a practical improvement plan.
Rejections usually come from financial statement issues or template errors. We review submissions before filing to prevent rejections, and we fix and resubmit promptly if issues arise.
Costs include the certifying body's fees plus our service charges for preparation and filing. Empanelled certifying bodies typically charge between AED 500 and AED 10,000; these are their own fees, not government fees. We provide clear quotes upfront. Combined audit-plus-ICV packages offer better value than handling them separately.
No. There is no minimum score to get the certificate, but buyers award tender points based on the score, so a higher score wins you more business.
Yes. The ICV certificate is issued per legal entity, so a company holding multiple commercial licences needs one certificate per licence.
An ICV certificate UAE buyers recognise is issued through the unified ICV program based on your audited financials. We prepare your ICV certificate UAE submission correctly the first time.
Yes. Whether you need an ICV certificate Dubai based suppliers use for local tenders or certification for federal contracts, we handle it. Our in country value certificate UAE service covers first-time applications and renewals.
ICV certification UAE follows the unified national program template. We ensure your ICV certification UAE filing meets the current template and timeline.
Get certified correctly, and get a plan to improve your score before the next bid.
