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: €14M (its accounts).

11 contracts signed in 2023 · €2.2M before tax · no contract published since 2023

Why this total differs from the €14M 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

€5.5M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €162 per resident. Town groupings of the same size: €90.
