812 contracts signed in 2025 · €350.3M before tax

Why this total differs from the €200.9M 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

€110.2M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €309 per resident. Mainland regions: €47.

Travaux de maintenance des tunnels et PSGR sur les routes territoriales de la haute-corse2023 · Électricité Industrielle Automatismes€12M
Entretien et renforcement de cinq ouvrages ferroviaires sur la ligne centrale Bastia / Ponte Leccia2024 · Baudin Chateauneuf€11M
Dénivellation du giratoire de la Gravona2024–2025 · Raffalli Travaux Publics€9.3M

Travaux de revêtement de chaussée en enrobés à chaud sur le réseau routier de la Collectivité de Corse2024 · Eurovia Languedoc Roussillon€8M

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

On top of that, €179.4M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

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.
