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: €971k (its accounts).

6 contracts signed in 2022 · €1.6M before tax · no contract published since 2022

Why this total differs from the €971k 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

€275k of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €24 per resident. Town groupings of the same size: €95.

  • Town planning and housing€80k
  • Economy and trade€63k
  • Administration and shared services€55k
  • Streets and transport€51k
  • Culture, sport and youth€26k

On top of that, €59k paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

Who is part of Communauté de communes FerCher

Understanding these figures

Who does what

The intercommunality collects and treats waste, often runs water and sanitation, organises urban transport, and pays part of its revenue back to its member towns.

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.
