Why Choose IKTVA Procurement and Supply Chain Localisation Training Course?

The In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) programme plays an important role in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s industrial capabilities, developing national talent and increasing the economic value retained within the Kingdom. For organisations operating within Saudi Aramco’s supply chain, effective IKTVA management requires more than compliance reporting. It demands the integration of localisation objectives into procurement, contracting, workforce development, supplier management and investment decisions.

This course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of IKTVA requirements and their impact on procurement and supply-chain activities. It equips participants with the tools needed to analyse local expenditure, develop Saudi suppliers, integrate localisation requirements into tenders and contracts, monitor performance and improve organisational IKTVA results. Participants will also learn how to strengthen data quality, manage compliance risks and establish a sustainable roadmap for increasing In-Kingdom value.
