A hospital in the Czech town of Dačice is overhauling its ICT and cybersecurity, underscoring how hospitals and local authorities across central Europe are investing in networks, servers and monitoring tools to meet stricter expectations on digital resilience.
Published on 17th December 2025, the contract notice Enhancing Cybersecurity at Dačice Hospital from Nemocnice Dačice, a.s. sets out plans to upgrade the hospital’s ICT infrastructure. The project centres on new technologies for server rooms, network security enhancements and comprehensive security and monitoring software.
Although concise, the notice points to a broad intervention touching both the physical and logical layers of hospital IT. Server room technologies suggest refreshed core hardware, power and storage; network security enhancements imply new controls at the points where systems connect; and security and monitoring software indicates a focus on continuous oversight rather than one-off fixes.
In a hospital environment, where clinical systems and administrative platforms depend on uninterrupted access to data, this combination is significant. Instead of treating cybersecurity as an add-on, the Dačice project folds it into a wider modernisation of ICT infrastructure, bringing the underlying servers and the protective tools up to a similar standard.
The Dačice plan sits within a busy year of cyber-related procurements across Czech healthcare. In July 2025, Nemocnice Jindřichův Hradec, a.s. published a notice for a Cybersecurity Solution, seeking delivery of hardware and software equipment and related services to enhance the hospital’s information systems, including firewalls, network access control, traffic monitoring solutions, installation, training and warranty support.
In the same month, Nemocnice Písek, a.s. issued a Server Infrastructure for Cybersecurity tender for new hardware and software, namely virtualisation disk arrays, servers, a backup server, backup software and licences. Nemocnice Kadaň s.r.o. followed with Cybersecurity Infrastructure for Kadaň Hospital, covering acquisition and implementation of hardware and software infrastructure for cybersecurity, plus technical support, maintenance, training and integration services.
Later in the summer, more specialised institutions moved in the same direction. In August 2025, Psychiatrická nemocnice v Opavě launched Cybersecurity for Opava Hospital, combining risk analysis, infrastructure supply and endpoint protection implementation. By October 2025, Psychiatrická nemocnice Brno was seeking services under Enhancing Cybersecurity at Brno Hospital to improve ICT infrastructure security, including supply and installation of network infrastructure, security applications and backup solutions with manufacturer support.
December 2025 has brought another cluster of hospital tenders. Oblastní nemocnice Příbram, a.s. set out a wide-ranging project in Cyber Security Enhancement for Hospital, covering communication network security, LAN infrastructure, event recording, incident detection, application security and backup technology. Nemocnice Hustopeče, příspěvková organizace, in its Cybersecurity Implementation for Hospital notice, plans a comprehensive supply and implementation of technologies, software, hardware and infrastructure for cybersecurity measures, alongside maintenance services.
Nemocnice TGM Hodonín, příspěvková organizace, is focusing on operational continuity and access controls through Cybersecurity Enhancement at TGM Hospital, which covers technology and software for a continuous process management system and a firewall with multi-factor authentication. Nemocnice Na Františku is targeting logging and patch management in Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital, which involves hardware and software tools, including a logging system and an automatic patching tool, in compliance with relevant regulations. Městská nemocnice Ostrava, příspěvková organizace, is meanwhile planning under Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital to introduce technical measures and security tools for user identity verification, access management, incident detection, post-implementation services and a warranty.
Taken together, these projects show hospitals moving beyond perimeter defences towards continuous monitoring, structured incident detection, audited access and resilient backup. The Dačice hospital project, with its blend of server-room upgrades, network measures and monitoring software, fits squarely within this pattern.
The same drive is visible in Czech municipalities and the education sector. In July 2025, Město Ivančice launched a Cybersecurity and IT Infrastructure procurement for delivery and implementation of cybersecurity enhancements, hardware and software solutions, and a fire suppression system for a server room, backed by 60 months of service support. In September 2025, Město Lovosice followed with a Cybersecurity Enhancement Project combining software and hardware for network protection, antivirus tools, redundant infrastructure, installation, configuration, training and ongoing support.
Statutární město Prostějov is focusing on its data centre, with a Cybersecurity Infrastructure Enhancement notice that aims to expand technological infrastructure and add security elements to protect data and services. Statutární město Hradec Králové, through Network and Server Infrastructure Upgrade published in August 2025, plans acquisition and implementation of network components, firewalls, a backup server and a deduplicating storage system, as well as installation, configuration, documentation, warranty, service coverage and training for employees.
Municipal districts in Prague are also reinforcing their ICT. Městská část Praha 11 is procuring software, hardware and services to enhance the cybersecurity of its information systems in Cybersecurity Enhancement for Prague 11, including advanced security technologies and support services. Městská část Praha 14, through Cybersecurity Enhancement Services, is seeking supply, implementation and support for hardware and software technologies aimed at improving cybersecurity while ensuring compliance with relevant legal and regulatory standards.
The education sector is also upgrading. In September 2025, Střední škola technická a obchodní, Dačice, Strojírenská 304 issued a Cybersecurity Modernization Project to enhance cybersecurity and efficiency by modernising hardware and software infrastructure, supplying licences and products, and securing maintenance and support services.
Similar investments are evident beyond the Czech Republic. In August 2025, Bulgarian IT provider Informatsionno Obsluzhvane AD announced a Server Infrastructure Equipment Delivery tender to supply processor blocks, RAM, disk arrays and backup systems with warranty services, strengthening centralised computing resources for the Ministry of Health and its subordinate agencies. In Poland, Zespół Zakładów Opieki Zdrowotnej w Ostrowie Wielkopolskim is aiming to improve cybersecurity through expanded server and network infrastructure and new computer sets in Enhancing Hospital Cybersecurity, while Szpital Wojewódzki Im. Mikołaja Kopernika w Koszalinie is combining digital service expansion with stronger defences in Digital Services and Cybersecurity Upgrade, which includes PACS and HIS expansion alongside training and integration services. Warmińsko-Mazurskie Centrum Chorób Płuc w Olsztynie is undertaking Digital Transformation Hardware Procurement to deliver IT equipment and implement software for digital health services, including LAN expansion, cybersecurity measures and backup improvements.
Back in July 2025, Nemocnice Znojmo, příspěvková organizace, linked clinical imaging and security through PACS Solution Supply, which covers a new picture archiving and communication system, a central web portal for image documentation management, a modern web DICOM viewer, hardware and support services to ensure secure access and sharing of medical images. This blend of modernisation and protection mirrors the approach now being taken at Dačice.
Many of these notices explicitly anchor their projects in legal and regulatory demands. Nemocnice Vyškov, příspěvková organizace, states in its Cybersecurity Improvement for Vyškov Hospital procurement that it aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and ensure compliance with legal requirements while improving protection against cyber threats. Městská část Praha 14 places compliance at the heart of its cybersecurity enhancement services, and Nemocnice Na Františku highlights adherence to relevant regulations when describing its logging and automatic patching tools.
These references reflect the tightening of expectations on how operators of essential and important services manage digital risk, under EU cybersecurity rules such as the NIS 2 Directive and related national legislation. The emphasis on event recording, incident detection, logging systems, backup technologies, continuous process management and structured training suggests a shift towards demonstrable control over systems, not just the presence of security products.
For Nemocnice Dačice, the test will now lie in implementation: integrating new server-room technologies, strengthening network security and deploying monitoring software without disrupting day-to-day hospital operations. Similar projects across hospitals, municipalities and schools show that public bodies are building layered programmes of hardware, software, services and training. As these contracts are delivered, attention will turn to whether the upgraded infrastructures translate into fewer incidents, faster detection and clearer evidence that organisations can meet the higher bar being set for cybersecurity in Europe’s public sector.
