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: €9.5M (its accounts).

44 contracts signed in 2025 · €5.6M before tax

Why this total differs from the €9.5M 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

€3.4M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €104 per resident. Town groupings of the same size: €90.

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

On top of that, €1.6M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).
