Contracts state a maximum amount for their whole term, often several years. That amount differs from what was paid. Purchases, services and works paid to companies by the département in 2025: €47.8M (its accounts).

40 contracts signed in 2025 · €20.2M before tax

Why this total differs from the €47.8M of purchases, services and works paid to companies

These are the amounts of the contracts signed in the year, over their whole length, not what was paid. The money paid in a year also goes to older contracts and to purchases too small to be published (under €40,000 excl. VAT). For a framework agreement, the amount is a ceiling.

Investment and works

€28.7M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €74 per resident. Départements of the same size: €122.

Largest works contracted since 2023, among published contracts. Amounts planned at signature, often spread over several years.

On top of that, €7.2M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

Spending per resident in 2025, and what each level pays for.

  • DépartementDeux-SèvresMinimum income, elderly and disability care, middle schools, county roads
    €1,055 per resident
  • RegionNouvelle-AquitaineHigh schools, regional trains, training, business support

Each amount is what the body spends per resident, from its accounts (DGFiP). Do not add them up: part of the money passes from one body to another.

Why the levels are not added up

The same euro can appear twice: once when a region or a département pays a grant, again when the town spends it. Each page shows its own body’s spending.
