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: €1.04B (its accounts).

303 contracts signed in 2025 · €549.6M before tax

Why this total differs from the €1.04B 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

€164.3M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €31 per resident. Mainland regions: €47.

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

On top of that, €483.2M 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.
