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: €12.4M (its accounts).

119 contracts signed in 2025 · €57.6M before tax

Why this total differs from the €12.4M 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

€6.9M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €119 per resident. Town groupings of the same size: €84.

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

On top of that, €1.9M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

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.
