A Prague city district is planning a full upgrade of cyber security at its town hall, bundling advanced monitoring, endpoint detection, new servers and staff training in a single contract that shows how local government IT is being reshaped by tougher digital risks and regulation.
On 28th January 2026, Městská část Praha 11 published a contract notice for a cyber security enhancement project for Prague 11 City Hall.
The city district is seeking software, hardware and services to improve the security of its information systems. The scope spans:
By combining these elements in one procurement, Prague 11 is looking for a coherent upgrade rather than isolated purchases of tools. The approach suggests an emphasis on continuous monitoring and early incident detection, backed by infrastructure that can sustain higher security demands and by staff who understand how to use it.
The Prague 11 notice sits within a wider wave of cyber security projects across Czech municipalities with similar building blocks of hardware, software and services.
In August 2025, Městská část Praha 2 issued a contract notice for Cybersecurity Enhancement in Prague 2. That procurement aims to implement cyber security measures to protect information infrastructure and systems “in compliance with national and EU regulations”, underlining how regulation now shapes local IT strategies.
Over the same month, other municipalities moved in the same direction. Městská část Praha 10 launched Cybersecurity Enhancement for Prague 10, covering software, hardware and services and including the preparation of documentation for implementation. Statutární město Karlovy Vary set out a plan for Cybersecurity Enhancement for Karlovy Vary, including delivery, installation and commissioning of devices and licences, plus services and administrator training.
Outside the capital, Město Louny has gone to market for Cybersecurity Hardware and Software, seeking backup solutions, network security, endpoint protection, log management and infrastructure security analysis. Město Poděbrady’s Cybersecurity Enhancement Supplies notice, published in September 2025, combines delivery of devices and licences with installation, setup, documentation and training for administrators.
Viewed together, these tenders point to a shared blueprint for municipal cyber upgrades built around:
The Prague 11 project follows this pattern but places particular emphasis on advanced monitoring technologies and endpoint detection at city hall level, signalling that early warning and rapid response are now central to local cyber strategies.
The same themes run through recent procurements beyond municipal government, suggesting that cyber security is being upgraded across public services rather than in isolated pockets.
Healthcare providers feature prominently. In August 2025, Nemocnice Blansko published a notice for Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital, combining analysis, security audits, policy creation and the delivery of hardware and software systems to secure its internal network. Later in December 2025, Městská nemocnice Ostrava sought to implement technical measures and tools for Cybersecurity Enhancement for Hospital, spanning user identity verification, access management, incident detection, post‑implementation services and warranty.
Other hospital projects echo this blend of infrastructure and governance. Nemocnice Dačice plans upgrades to server rooms, network security and monitoring software under Enhancing Cybersecurity at Dačice Hospital, while Oblastní nemocnice Příbram is procuring hardware and software covering communication network security, local network infrastructure, event recording, incident detection, application security and backup technology through Cyber Security Enhancement for Hospital.
Education bodies are on a similar path. Vyšší odborná škola zdravotnická Brno plans to modernise and expand its software and hardware systems with advanced security solutions and infrastructure upgrades under Cybersecurity Enhancement for Educational Institution, while Střední škola technická a obchodní Dačice is seeking a comprehensive modernisation of hardware, software, licences and support services through its Cybersecurity Modernization Project.
National institutions are also investing in cyber resilience. The Český hydrometeorologický ústav signalled plans to reinforce the cyber security resilience of its critical information infrastructure in a prior information notice on Cybersecurity Infrastructure Enhancement, focusing on hardware and software for data archiving and database systems.
In the education and research sphere, the Národní pedagogický institut České republiky is procuring hardware and software to strengthen cyber security, including network infrastructure and advanced log management solutions, with manufacturer support, through Cyber Security HW and SW Renewal. The Národní ústav duševního zdraví is pursuing a broad package of technical measures, security documentation, hardware and software delivery, implementation and maintenance under its Cybersecurity Information Systems procurement.
The pattern extends beyond the Czech Republic. In January 2026, the Małopolski Urząd Wojewódzki w Krakowie launched a contract for Cybersecurity Equipment and Software Delivery to enhance the security of the Małopolska Voivodeship Office in Kraków, again centred on a mix of security systems and training services.
Across these notices, several themes recur. The first is compliance. Prague 2’s explicit reference to national and EU regulations, alongside similar language on legal and regulatory standards in other tenders such as Městská část Praha 14’s Cybersecurity Enhancement Services, suggests that tighter EU‑level and national rules are driving investment in monitoring, detection and documentation.
The second is resilience. Projects such as the Český hydrometeorologický ústav’s focus on critical information infrastructure, and Statutární město Prostějov’s plan to enhance its cybersecurity infrastructure through Cybersecurity Infrastructure Expansion, sit alongside municipal and hospital tenders that add backup, storage and archiving capabilities. Together they underline that protecting core systems and data is as important as strengthening perimeter defences.
Third is the recognition that tools alone are not enough. Many of the procurements include explicit requirements for training, documentation and ongoing support. Karlovy Vary and Poděbrady both call for administrator training; Lovosice’s Cybersecurity Enhancement Project combines installation and configuration with training and ongoing support; the National Pedagogical Institute and Polish regional office both stress manufacturer or training support.
For Prague 11, the inclusion of support and training alongside advanced monitoring and endpoint detection means the city hall’s project aligns with this broader trend. The contract aims not only to install technology but to ensure that city staff and administrators can operate it effectively over time.
As Prague 11 progresses its cyber security enhancement for city hall, observers will be able to see how far the integrated model of monitoring, endpoint detection, infrastructure and training delivers practical improvements in resilience.
With municipalities, hospitals, schools and national bodies across the Czech Republic and neighbouring EU regions now procuring similar packages, upcoming notices and awards will offer a clearer picture of how public authorities interpret their cyber security obligations in practice, and how they balance technical upgrades with the skills and support needed to use them.
