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 intercommunality in 2025: €21.8M (its accounts).

64 contracts signed in 2025 · €15.3M before tax

What the intercommunality paid in 2025 for these kinds of purchase, from its accounts

  • Maintenance and repairsall suppliers together · contracts in the list: L'Est Électrique, Études Installation Maintenance Industripaid €2.5M

The accounts say how much was paid for each kind of purchase, not to which company. A purchase paid by another public body (joint order, shared service) is not in them.

Why this total differs from the €21.8M 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

€13M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €92 per resident. Urban-area groupings of the same size: €114.

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.
