ICV Certification in Qatar

What ICV actually scores

The ICV score is a percentage, not a pass or fail. It is calculated from your audited financial statements, so the quality of those statements directly determines the number you can evidence.

Four categories carry the weight:

• Local supplier spend: goods, materials and services bought from suppliers inside Qatar rather than imported.
• Qatari and resident workforce cost, including training and development spend.
• Investment in fixed assets physically located in Qatar, and their depreciation.
• Supplier development: money spent building the capability of local subcontractors.

Where companies lose score unnecessarily

Most low scores are not caused by genuinely low local content. They are caused by records that cannot evidence the local content that exists.

Import costs booked without separating the local handling component, payroll not split between Qatari nationals, residents and offshore contractors, and capital assets held on a group balance sheet outside Qatar all suppress a score that better bookkeeping would have supported.

We are an approved certifier

MBN is a Tawteen-approved ICV certifier. That means you engage one firm for the whole process rather than preparing a submission with an accountant and then handing it to a separate certifier who has to learn your business from scratch.

We reconcile the audited financial statements to the ICV template, split the cost categories correctly, assemble the payroll and asset evidence, and issue the certificate.

Where a score is below what your tender strategy needs, we model what would change it, so the following year is planned rather than discovered.
