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: €356.5M (its accounts).

665 contracts signed in 2025 · €320.5M before tax

Why this total differs from the €356.5M 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.

€236.2M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €452 per resident. Metropolitan authorities: €307.

  • Administration and shared services€33.5M
  • Town planning and housing€29.7M

On top of that, €42.2M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).
