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: €7.7M (its accounts).

45 contracts signed in 2025 · €2.4M before tax

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

  • Electricity, gas and heatingall suppliers together · contract in the list: Union des Producteurs Locaux d'Électricité (Énergie d'Ici)paid €182k

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 €7.7M 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

€4.5M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €106 per resident. Town groupings of the same size: €90.
