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: €195.8M (its accounts).

237 contracts signed in 2025 · €88.3M before tax

Why this total differs from the €195.8M 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

€114.1M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €393 per resident.

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

On top of that, €44M 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.
