The Local Content Certificate is pivotal for Saudi Arabian companies that want to work with government or semi-government entities. This certificate is issued by the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority (LCGPA). It measures and certifies to what extent a company’s operations are locally focused. That means its staffing and the services, goods, and assets it uses are likely sourced from local entities. The closer you get to 100% local sourcing, you’ll likely have an LCGPA certificate.
Numerous businesses find the application process challenging because of the technical paperwork and well-defined criteria. This is precisely where CBD KSA makes it easier for you.
We help get your Local Content Certificate, from document preparation to final approval.
An official document called a Local Content Certificate is issued by the LCGPA, which stands for the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority. In their words, the LCGPA explains that “A Local Content Certificate measures a company’s contribution to the national economy. It calculates the percentage of local resources used in the company’s operations, such as a workforce, local suppliers, materials, and services. This certificate is essential for companies seeking public sector tenders and government procurement opportunities.”
