ICV Certification

An ICV certificate is the entry ticket to ADNOC and government-linked procurement. We prepare your submission, coordinate the certifying body, and advise on improving the score.

The In-Country Value programme scores suppliers on their contribution to the UAE economy — local spending, Emiratisation, investment and more — and major buyers including ADNOC and government entities weight tenders by it. The certificate is issued by empanelled certifying bodies based on your audited financials and an ICV template that must reconcile to them precisely.

Taxspire prepares the ICV submission properly: audited financials in order, the template completed and reconciled, and the certifying body engagement managed to certificate issuance. Beyond the paperwork, we advise on what actually moves your score — procurement sourcing, payroll structure, asset decisions — so next year’s certificate is stronger than this year’s.

What we’ll need from you

Latest audited financial statements
Trade licence and ownership details
Payroll data including Emiratisation figures
Procurement and supplier spend analysis
Prior ICV certificates, if any

Expected timeline

With audited financials in hand, preparation and certification typically complete in 2–4 weeks. Without an audit, add the audit timeline — plan backwards from your tender date.

Timelines depend on document readiness and authority processing; we confirm a schedule before work begins.
