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).

71 contracts signed in 2025 · €10.9M before tax

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

  • Office and school suppliesall suppliers together · contracts in the list: Duclercq Fournitures, Papeteries Pichonpaid €163k

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 €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

€7.1M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €183 per resident. Town groupings of the same size: €90.

On top of that, €250k paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

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.
