    Other FAQ’s

    1.What is an ICV certificate?

    It is a measure of an entity’s contribution towards the local economy, based on a set of pre-determined criteria. All suppliers intending to compete in tenders with any of the ICV implementing companies must submit their ICV certificate, together with other requisites. The ICV score is factored in by the companies in their tender evaluation process.

    2.How is ICV measured?

    ICV is measured based on the annual cost of procurement incurred by Companies from other mainland/ICV certified Companies. It also takes into account the total value of fixed assets in the UAE, corresponding depreciation and the annual manpower costs expended on Emiratis and Expats.

    3.Is there a minimum ICV score?

    No, there is no minimum score. Based on each Company’s business and operation model, the scores may vary even among contemporaries in the same industry. That being said, a supplier can always strategize to improve their ICV score.

    4.Can multiple entities apply for a combined ICV?

    No, Companies cannot apply for a combined ICV. The only exception is if the company has a branch in the same emirate with identical activities and ownership, in which case the company may apply for a single ICV certificate.
