Share of public contracts (in value) awarded to Social Utility Solidarity Enterprises (SEUS) by purchasing sector

The indicator represents the share (in value) of public contracts awarded to at least one supplier benefiting from the "Solidarity-based social utility enterprise" approval, in %.

A contract shall be considered to be awarded to an ESUS if at least one holder — identified by a valid SIRET — has an ESUS licence whose validity date is later than the date of notification of the contract. Where the same SIRET is associated with more than one ESUS approval in the reference data, the later end date of validity shall be used.

Perimeter: Hexagon and overseas.
Each contract is linked to a grid according to the level of collectivity of the buyer, and not the place of performance of the contract. The level of authority, determined by INSEE, is retrieved from the business directory.

The buyers taken into account are local authorities, with a valid SIRET. For example: within the municipality, the contracts taken into account are only those awarded by the municipality itself, contracts awarded by buyers located in the municipality are not taken into account.

The indicator is calculated independently for each of the four territorial grids (municipality, EPCI, department, region) and cannot be consolidated from one grid to another. Thus, an indicator with a regional grid is not obtained by aggregating the indicators of the sub-regional grids.
- At the regional level, only purchasers of the ‘Region’ or ‘Overseas Region’ level of authority with a valid SIRET are taken into account.
- At the departmental level, only purchasers at the ‘Department’ or ‘Department of Overseas France’ level with a valid SIRET are taken into account.
- At the EPCI level, only purchasers at the ‘EPCI’ or ‘Metropole’ level with a valid SIRET are taken into account.
- At the municipal level, only ‘Commune’ or ‘City’ purchasers with a valid SIRET are taken into account.

The date of the measure is the date of notification of the contract.

Axes/dimensions: The indicator is available by purchasing sector. For each sector, it corresponds to the ratio between the amount of contracts in that sector awarded to USES and the total amount of contracts in <b>that sector</b>.

To obtain the share of contracts awarded to SUS in all sectors, it is necessary to recalculate the report. This requires dividing the sum of numerators (amounts of contracts awarded to USES) by the sum of denominators (total amounts of contracts) for all sectors for the same buyer and for the same measurement year. Be careful not to aggregate the percentages by sector, this would lead to a false result.

This indicator must be contained in the Socially and Ecologically Responsible Public Procurement Promotion Scheme (SPASER) for buyers subject to the implementation of a SPASER by Article L. 2111-3 of the Public Order Code. Consult the technical sheet on SPASER of the Directorate of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Economy, or the website purchases-durables.gouv.fr to learn more.

Attention, the data used to constitute this indicator are still unreliable (many contracts are not yet counted in the open data), its values should be checked before any use.
