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 region in 2025: €1.46B (its accounts).

617 contracts signed in 2025 · €1.24B before tax

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

  • Maintenance and repairsall suppliers together · contracts in the list: Dalkia, Engie Énergie Services (Agence Champagne Ardenne)paid €8.5M
  • Phone and internetall suppliers together · contract in the list: Linktpaid €4.6M

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 €1.46B 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

€243M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €43 per resident. Mainland regions: €47.

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.
