Training Introduction

The In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) programme plays an important role in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s industrial capabilities, developing national talent, and increasing economic value retained within the Kingdom. For organisations operating within Saudi Aramco’s supply chain, effective IKTVA management requires far more than passive compliance reporting. It demands a deliberate, strategic integration of local content objectives across procurement, contracting, workforce development, vendor management, and capital investment decisions. Attending this comprehensive IKTVA Procurement Training Course equips professionals with actionable framework tools to align commercial operations with national economic directives smoothly.

This Supply Chain Localisation Training Course provides a practical understanding of IKTVA requirements and their direct impact on end-to-end procurement activities. Participants learn to analyze local expenditure, develop capable Saudi suppliers, integrate robust localisation criteria into tenders and contracts, and systematically monitor score performance. By strengthening data quality, mitigating compliance risks, and establishing a sustainable operational roadmap, delegates ensure their organisation maximises In-Kingdom value, protects audit integrity, and supports Saudi Vision 2030 targets.

  • Structuring effective governance, audit compliance, and baseline calculation frameworks for In-Kingdom Total Value Add.
  • Conducting granular procurement spend analysis to capture high-impact import substitution and local sourcing opportunities.
  • Pre-qualifying, evaluating, and accelerating the technical and operational maturity of local Saudi suppliers and SMEs.
