Published on 31st December 2025, Spitalul Clinic C.F. nr. 2 Bucuresti has set out plans to buy an integrated software and hardware platform that links clinical and non-clinical work. The move, framed as support for the digitisation of the hospital’s activities, mirrors a wave of similar procurements across other public hospitals seeking integrated, interoperable systems.
The contract for an integrated and interoperable software solution at CF Clinical Hospital No. 2 covers both clinical and non-clinical environments. It bundles software, the hardware needed to run it, and user training. The stated goal is simple but ambitious: to support the digitisation of all key activities in the hospital.
Although the notice does not spell out individual modules, the scope implies a system that touches day-to-day clinical work and the wider machinery that keeps a hospital running. "Interoperable" points to a need for the new platform to exchange data reliably with existing applications and, potentially, with external systems. Bringing clinical and non-clinical domains under one integrated solution suggests an attempt to align medical workflows with administrative and support processes.
By including hardware alongside software, the hospital is trying to avoid the common gap between modern applications and ageing devices. The explicit focus on user training recognises that technology alone does not deliver digitisation; staff need the skills and confidence to use new tools in routine care and back-office work. However, the notice stops short of describing the technical architecture or contract value, so the detailed design and scale of the project remain unclear.
For a single clinical hospital, bringing all three elements together in one procurement indicates a desire for a coherent, turnkey implementation rather than piecemeal upgrades. It also places a premium on suppliers that can combine health IT expertise with infrastructure provision and change support.
This Bucharest contract notice lands into an already busy field. Throughout July 2025, several hospitals launched similar tenders for integrated, interoperable software. In Blaj, for example, the municipal hospital sought an integrated software solution for health to enhance digital interactions, streamline workflows and ensure data integration, backed by staff training. Around the same time, Municipal Hospital Adjud launched a software development project to improve clinical and non-clinical systems and interoperability as part of a wider digital infrastructure modernisation.
Other hospitals are tying software integration directly to eHealth and telemedicine. Also in July 2025, CF Simeria General Hospital issued a notice for a digital system for healthcare, supplying equipment and services for an eHealth and telemedicine system funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. At Moinești Municipal Emergency Hospital, a July 2025 tender focused on a solution for implementing and improving clinical and non-clinical software and interoperability, again with an emphasis on staff training for digital modernisation.
Children’s and specialist facilities are moving in the same direction. In August 2025, the Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children "Louis Țurcanu" Timișoara sought delivery of an integrated medical information system to enhance digitisation. The Bath and Recovery Sanatorium Techirghiol, meanwhile, launched a digitalisation project for an integrated software solution covering clinical and non-clinical processes, with an additional focus on retro-digitising archives.
Later in the year the pattern becomes clearer. In November 2025, a project for Brașov Clinical Hospital set out to implement an eHealth software solution to modernise electronic medical records, align with medical data standards and train staff. Municipal authorities in Baia Mare moved to implement an integrated ICT infrastructure at the Pneumophthisiology Hospital "Dr. Nicolae Rușdea", again combining software, equipment and staff training around interoperability.
By December 2025, large clinical hospitals were deepening their programmes. The county clinical hospital in Timișoara published a notice for IT application development services to extend digitalisation through new and updated clinical and non-clinical modules. CF General Hospital Ploiești sought services to implement an integrated software solution for clinical and non-clinical processes, explicitly covering IT analysis, configuration, testing and training to improve efficiency and compliance. Municipal Clinical Hospital Cluj-Napoca, for its part, focused on acquiring software licences and training for a digitalisation project centred on eHealth and telemedicine, under a dedicated digital transformation funding programme.
Seen together, these notices show a system-wide effort that spans municipal, county, specialist, chronic-disease, psychiatric and paediatric hospitals. The Bucharest CF clinical hospital’s contract is therefore less an isolated IT upgrade and more one node in a broader programme of investment in integrated, interoperable digital infrastructure.
Across these procurements, interoperability emerges as a central theme. Several tenders, including those for Cugir Municipal Hospital and Câmpulung Pneumophthisiology Hospital, explicitly seek integrated software that can ensure data integration with other healthcare units and digitise workflows. The chronic diseases hospital at Câmpeni similarly wants an integrated and interoperable solution to digitise interactions, streamline internal processes and improve data interoperability.
Interoperability is not limited to clinical records. Notices from Bumbesti-Jiu City Hospital and the City Hospital "St. Dimitrie" Târgu Neamț talk about integrated information systems for administrative efficiency, digital governance and connecting all hospital departments. The Techirghiol sanatorium’s focus on retro-digitising archives shows that historical paper records are also being brought into scope, not just new electronic files.
Telemedicine and eHealth systems appear repeatedly: in Sibiu’s Clinic Hospital for Children, where an integrated eHealth and telemedicine system is planned; in Vaslui County Emergency Hospital’s eHealth and telemedicine system; and in projects such as CF Simeria’s, funded through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. These initiatives rely on consistent, high-quality digital data flowing between clinical and non-clinical systems, something the Bucharest hospital’s own procurement seeks to enable.
Another thread running through almost all notices is staff training. Whether framed as "training for staff", "enhancing staff skills" or broader "support", each hospital recognises that software and hardware are only part of the puzzle. For clinical and administrative teams, the shift to integrated systems changes how information is captured, shared and acted upon. Without structured training, digitisation risks creating new burdens instead of easing existing ones.
While the texts focus on core systems, interoperability and skills, they also lay foundations for more advanced, data-driven tools in future. A hospital where clinical and non-clinical processes run through integrated, interoperable platforms is better placed to introduce richer analytics or decision-support capabilities later on, should it choose to do so. For now, however, the emphasis remains on building reliable digital infrastructure and ensuring it works smoothly across departments and institutions.
For Spitalul Clinic C.F. nr. 2 Bucuresti, the immediate test will be execution. Integrating clinical and non-clinical workflows, deploying new hardware and delivering training to users is a significant organisational effort. The notice does not detail timelines or specific technologies, so observers will be watching for subsequent documentation that clarifies how the hospital plans to phase the roll-out and manage change on the ground.
Across the wider set of hospitals, the next few years will show whether this cluster of integrated software projects leads to genuinely interoperable systems or a new generation of isolated platforms. Projects that focus on electronic medical records, shared data standards and eHealth and telemedicine suggest a direction of travel towards more connected care. The Bucharest clinical hospital’s procurement sits firmly within that trajectory: a bid to digitise the full span of hospital activity, from clinical services to back-office operations, and to give staff the tools and training to make those systems work.
