Regional Hospital Příbram is preparing a wide-ranging cyber security upgrade, from its communication network to its backup systems. Its Cyber Security Enhancement for Hospital tender, published on 10th December 2025, sets out plans to buy new hardware and software to secure local area networks, log and detect incidents, protect applications and strengthen data backup. The move places the hospital in a growing group of public bodies across central Europe refreshing their defences as the EU's NIS 2 Directive tightens expectations on essential services such as healthcare.
Oblastní nemocnice Příbram, a.s., which runs Regional Hospital Příbram, is using the procurement to tackle multiple layers of its digital estate in one project. According to the notice, the contract covers communication network security, LAN infrastructure, event recording, incident detection, application security and backup technology, all delivered through new hardware and software.
Taken together, the hospital is looking to address:
That mix of network controls, monitoring and resilience maps closely onto how regulators now view critical infrastructure. The NIS 2 Directive focuses on enhancing cybersecurity in essential services, including healthcare, and highlights the need for continuous monitoring and incident response capabilities. By investing in event recording, incident detection and robust backup, the hospital is laying the groundwork for faster detection of problems and recovery of data if systems fail or are compromised.
In July 2025, Nemocnice Jindřichův Hradec, a.s. launched a Cybersecurity Solution contract to deliver hardware and software that strengthen the hospital's information systems, including firewalls, network access control and traffic monitoring solutions, together with installation, training and warranty support. A month later, in August 2025, Nemocnice Blansko issued its own Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital tender, combining analysis, security audits and policy creation with the delivery of hardware and software systems to secure its internal network.
Psychiatric facilities are part of the same pattern. In October 2025, Psychiatrická nemocnice Brno published an Enhancing Cybersecurity at Brno Hospital notice seeking services to improve ICT infrastructure security through the supply and installation of network infrastructure, security applications and backup solutions with manufacturer support. In September 2025, Psychiatrická nemocnice v Opavě went to market with a Hospital Cybersecurity Procurement that bundles risk analyses, delivery of cybersecurity infrastructure and implementation of an endpoint protection solution.
Other hospitals are focusing on the basic infrastructure that keeps clinical systems running. Nemocnice Dačice, a.s. used its November 2025 ICT Modernization for Cybersecurity project to plan high-performance servers, modern air conditioning, backup power systems and a comprehensive solution for network monitoring and threat detection in its server rooms. On 25th November 2025, Městská nemocnice Ostrava followed with a Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital contract covering technical measures and post-implementation services to improve cybersecurity at the municipal hospital.
Several healthcare buyers are also spelling out log management, patching and compliance requirements. Nemocnice Na Františku's October 2025 Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital tender calls for a logging system and automatic patching tool described as being in compliance with relevant regulations. Nemocnice Vyškov's Cybersecurity Improvement for Vyškov Hospital notice from August 2025 seeks a comprehensive supply of tools and services to enhance cybersecurity measures while ensuring compliance with legal requirements and improving protection against cyber threats.
Identity and access control are another recurring theme. The July 2025 Cybersecurity Software Tools for Hospital procurement at Oblastní nemocnice Mladá Boleslav, which covers Klaudián Hospital, focuses on software for two-factor authentication, asset management, privileged account management, endpoint control, network documentation, data loss prevention and firewall log analysis. Nemocnice TGM Hodonín's October 2025 Cybersecurity Enhancement at TGM Hospital project specifies technology and software for a continuous process management system and a firewall with multi-factor authentication, with bidders able to tender for a single part or both.
The breadth of services demanded is also widening. In July 2025, Nemocnice Kadaň s.r.o. launched a Cybersecurity Infrastructure for Kadaň Hospital contract that pairs acquisition and implementation of hardware and software with technical support, maintenance, training and integration services. That emphasis on ongoing support mirrors the Příbram hospital's ambition to maintain improved security over time, rather than relying on one-off equipment purchases.
In local government, many of the same tools and obligations are now appearing. Statutární město Prostějov is enhancing the cybersecurity of its data centre through a July 2025 Cybersecurity Software Enhancement notice for security software including identity access management, security information and event management and availability monitoring, supported by development services. District authorities in the capital are active too: Městská část Praha 11's October 2025 Cybersecurity Enhancement for Prague 11 project spans software, hardware and services to introduce advanced security technologies, while Městská část Praha 4's July 2025 Cybersecurity Enhancement for Prague 4 procurement links a new control security system, revitalised backup data centre, more resilient primary data centre and an ISMS system to compliance with the Cybersecurity Act.
Event logging and threat detection, which sit at the heart of Regional Hospital Příbram's focus on event recording and incident detection, also recur across municipal tenders. In November 2025, Městská část Praha 1 published a Cybersecurity Log Management contract for a technical solution to manage log lifecycles, from analysis to deployment and licensing. Statutární město Zlín's December 2025 Cyber Security Software for SMZ procurement combines a log management system for event logs with a network detection and response system and five years of technical support. Beyond the major cities, Město Lovosice's Enhancing Cybersecurity Solutions tender focuses on network protection, antivirus deployment for endpoints and servers, and redundant infrastructure with warranty and support services, while Město Orlová's Cybersecurity Systems Delivery project adds tools for IP address management, network access control, vulnerability testing, honeypot systems, privileged account management and threat detection.
Utilities, schools and universities are not exempt. Metropolnet, a.s. is modernising its security infrastructure through a July 2025 Security Monitoring Infrastructure Upgrade that combines identity management systems, privileged access management tools, endpoint detection solutions and related services and support. Liberecká IS, a.s. is procuring a Centralized Access Management System to strengthen application access control. In education, Vyšší odborná škola zdravotnická Brno is using its Enhancing Cybersecurity for VOŠZ Brno project to modernise and expand software and hardware with advanced security solutions and infrastructure upgrades, while Slovakia's Univerzita Mateja Bela v Banskej Bystrici has launched a Cyber Security Enhancement for UMB tender for a comprehensive solution covering its metropolitan network, electronic services, data storage, firewalls, monitoring tools, implementation services and operator training.
A striking feature across these notices is the language of compliance. Buyers from Nemocnice Vyškov and Nemocnice Na Františku to Městská část Praha 4 and Městská část Praha 14 – whose October 2025 Cybersecurity Enhancement Services project stresses adherence to legal and regulatory standards – explicitly frame their procurements around meeting statutory obligations. That aligns with the EU's NIS 2 Directive, which focuses on enhancing cybersecurity in essential services, including healthcare, and emphasises continuous monitoring and incident response capabilities.
Against that backdrop, the Cyber Security Enhancement for Hospital project at Regional Hospital Příbram looks geared towards building the kind of architecture regulators expect. By bundling communication network security, LAN infrastructure, event recording, incident detection, application security and backup technology into a single procurement, the hospital is positioning itself to obtain a more coherent view of its cyber risks and how to respond to them.
The available description of the Příbram contract does not specify timelines, contract value or particular technologies, so further documentation will be needed to understand the scale and approach in detail. What is already visible is that hospitals, municipalities, utilities and universities across the region are moving in parallel to strengthen networks, logging, identity controls and backup. As NIS 2 obligations take hold, attention will turn to how effectively these procurements help public-sector bodies detect, respond to and recover from cyber incidents in practice.
