Course Introduction

The In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) framework is pivotal in expanding Saudi Arabia’s industrial base, empowering national talent, and maximizing localized economic value. For organizations engaging within Saudi Aramco's vast supply chain, attaining high IKTVA performance extends far beyond routine compliance and basic reporting. Achieving sustainable growth requires embedding strategic supply chain localisation and procurement localization directly into core operations, workforce planning, vendor management, and long-term capital investments.

This specialized IKTVA Procurement and Supply Chain Localisation Training Course delivers an immersive, practical exploration of essential compliance standards and strategic sourcing frameworks. Delegates will gain actionable tools to assess local spend, cultivate high-performing Saudi suppliers, draft localization-centric tender packages, mitigate audit risks, and elevate overall IKTVA metrics.

  • Master key IKTVA evaluation metrics, procurement localization tactics, and spend optimization tools.
  • Develop robust capabilities to audit, mentor, and elevate local Saudi suppliers and service providers.
  • Integrate localized content criteria seamlessly into commercial contracts, bidding phases, and vendor reviews.
