215 contracts signed in 2025 · €104.1M before tax

Why this total differs from the €250M 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

€188M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €147 per resident. Départements of the same size: €93.

On top of that, €95.5M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

Debt and taxes

€600 of debt per resident

Départements of the same size: €568

4.3 years of savings to repay it

2025 accounts. Debt and taxes: OFGL, consolidated (main and side budgets). Per resident: amount divided by the population (Insee). “Départements of the same size”: median of the 29 départements of 777,000 to 2.6 million residents.

The levels above Seine-Maritime

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

  • DépartementSeine-MaritimeMinimum income, elderly and disability care, middle schools, county roads
    €1,443
  • RegionNormandieHigh schools, regional trains, training, business support
    €568

Each row: the body’s own spending per resident, the figure at the top of its page (DGFiP). Not to be added up: a grant from one level is spent by another.

Understanding these figures

Who does what

The département pays for middle schools, social help (minimum income, elderly care, disability, child welfare), départemental roads, and funds the fire and rescue service.

Official table of responsibilities (July 2025)

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.

Where these figures come from

Spending: the accounts of the main budget published by the DGFiP, by public policy. Revenue, debt and taxes: OFGL. Contracts: published contract data (DECP), amounts planned at signing.
