From January 2018, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has launched an In country Value program (ICV) with a view to diversify the UAE’s economy by localizing more goods and services, create more employment opportunities for the UAE nationals in the private sector and the localization of important functionalities in the field of oil and gas.
Following the implementation of the ICV program, ADNOC now requires its suppliers and service providers to demonstrate a notable improvement in their ICV score by submitting an ICV achievement certificate based on the previous financial year. The ICV score has become a crucial element in ADNOC’s tendering process, where contract awards are determined by a combination of the lowest price and a high ICV score.
All ADNOC suppliers must obtain an ICV certificate through an ADNOC-approved certification body and submit the supplier’s submission template. In the UAE, the ICV certificate can only be issued by an ICV-approved auditor or audit firm. This certification is granted based on an audit report prepared by a government-approved external auditor or audit firm.
The ADNOC program aligns with the company’s 2030 growth strategy, which focuses on building a more profitable and value-driven business while ensuring a steady supply of oil and gas.
In today’s competitive UAE business environment, working with government and semi-government entities often requires more than just a valid trade license and strong capabilities. Many major organizations now evaluate suppliers based on their In-Country Value (ICV) score—a system designed to measure how much a company contributes to the UAE’s local economy.
