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: €1.8M (its accounts).

10 contracts signed in 2025 · €866k before tax

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

  • Waterall suppliers together · contracts in the list: Compagnie Générale des Exploitations d'Occitanie, Suez Eau Francepaid €21k

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 €1.8M 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.

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.
