Contracts are placed by the place of work they declare, mostly a postal code, split evenly between the communes it serves; one that names only a département counts there. A département also counts the contracts in its communes that have no page here. The series starts in 2024, the first year the declarations were complete. The value is the price at notification; a framework agreement's is its ceiling.
