Enhancing in-country value (ICV) is one of the key priorities in public and quasi-public procurement. This initiative aims to support domestic manufacturers, create new jobs, stimulate the national economy, and enhance the competitiveness of local companies.
In-country value refers to the share of Kazakhstani goods, works, and services in the total volume of procured products. It also encompasses the participation of local companies in production and contracting processes.
In alignment with national policy, SK Ondeu continuously works to increase procurement localization and support domestic producers.
The company’s Local Project Office for import substitution and local content development regularly reviews business proposals for including planned products in the Import Substitution Pool under the Program for Promoting New Production Facilities.
