A major university hospital in Łódź is procuring a Security Operations Centre (SOC) service to monitor its network and servers as part of an e‑services project, highlighting how hospitals and public bodies are building dedicated cybersecurity capabilities into their digital services.
On 3rd February 2026, Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej Centralny Szpital Kliniczny Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Łodzi published a contract notice for a SOC Service for Hospital Monitoring.
The contract covers the implementation of a SOC service to monitor the hospital’s network and server infrastructure. It is described as part of an e‑Services project, and the detailed technical and service requirements are set out in a separate specification.
Placing SOC monitoring inside an e‑services programme signals a clear message: digital health services, electronic records and connected medical systems will only be as reliable as the security operations that support them. Rather than treating cybersecurity as a side project, the Łódź hospital is integrating it into the same programme that delivers new digital services to staff and patients.
The Łódź tender lands amid a dense cluster of similar projects across hospitals in the region, many of them explicitly linking digital services upgrades with SOC and cybersecurity measures.
In January 2026, Wielospecjalistyczny Szpital – Samodzielny Publiczny Zespół Opieki Zdrowotnej w Zgorzelcu launched a Network Modernization and SOC System Purchase, combining SD‑WAN deployment and internet upgrades with a SOC system designed to raise the security of medical documentation across multiple locations.
Also in January 2026, Szpital Wojewódzki im. Jana Pawła II w Bełchatowie published a Digital Transformation in Healthcare notice, seeking infrastructure, equipment and software to improve both medical services and cybersecurity.
The pattern continues into February 2026. Szpital Powiatowy im. Alfreda Sokołowskiego w Złotowie is pursuing Digital Transformation at County Hospital, integrating IT systems, digitising medical documentation, strengthening cybersecurity and introducing AI solutions as part of its e‑services rollout.
On the same day as the Łódź notice, SAMODZIELNY PUBLICZNY ZAKŁAD OPIEKI ZDROWOTNEJ W CHOSZCZNIE advertised SIEM System and SOC Services, combining continuous monitoring and incident response with the delivery and installation of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system and a password manager.
Another 3rd February 2026 notice, from Stobrawskie Centrum Medyczne Sp. z o.o., seeks Security Operations Center Services integrated with an Integration Services Platform, including cybersecurity training.
Hospitals are not only adding monitoring; they are wrapping SOC deployments into broader digital upgrades. Szpital Specjalistyczny im. J. Dietla w Krakowie, for example, is investing in IT Equipment and Software Delivery to strengthen both digital services and IT security, while Centrum Onkologii Ziemi Lubelskiej im. św. Jana z Dukli is focusing on Data Security Improvement for Medical Systems, including the establishment of a SOC service at an oncology centre.
Across these notices, SOCs are no longer experimental pilots. They are presented as standard components of e‑health programmes, alongside electronic medical documentation systems, new server infrastructure and network modernisation.
Many of the healthcare tenders go well beyond buying technology. They fold in training, governance and broader security management.
Wojewódzki Specjalistyczny Szpital Dziecięcy im. św. Ludwika w Krakowie set out a comprehensive package in its Cybersecurity Enhancement Services notice in December 2025. The hospital is seeking SOC implementation, training, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and adjustments to Information Security Management System (ISMS) documentation.
Similarly, Zespół Zakładów Opieki Zdrowotnej w Ostrowie Wielkopolskim plans to implement an IT security monitoring system, an information security management system, and to provide cybersecurity training, workshops and a security audit.
Training also features in projects such as Szpital Powiatowy w Radomsku’s Cybersecurity Equipment and Training in October 2025, which combines network segregation equipment with cybersecurity documentation and an e‑learning platform.
On the technology side, hospitals are also consolidating monitoring and response capabilities. DOLNOŚLĄSKI SZPITAL SPECJALISTYCZNY IM. T.MARCINIAKA‑CENTRUM MEDYCYNY RATUNKOWEJ is procuring SOC/SIEM Services and a vulnerability scanner for continuous monitoring of information systems and IT infrastructure as part of its own digital transformation initiative.
Wojewódzki Szpital Specjalistyczny w Legnicy is going further still. Its Integrated Cybersecurity System Procurement involves delivering, implementing and configuring an extended detection and response (XDR) system, outsourcing SOC functions and training IT staff, all explicitly framed as compliant with relevant legal regulations.
Other hospitals are pairing SOC capabilities with broader infrastructure programmes. Uniwersytecki Szpital Kliniczny im. Fryderyka Chopina w Rzeszowie is investing in Digital Services and Cybersecurity Solutions, while Szpital Uniwersytecki nr 1 im. dr. A. Jurasza w Bydgoszczy is procuring server equipment and EDM devices to support digital services and cybersecurity.
Even workstation roll‑outs now come with embedded security layers. Samodzielny Publiczny Szpital Kliniczny Nr 1 im. prof. S. Szyszko SUM w Katowicach is buying workstations and security systems that include e‑ID card readers, antivirus and data loss prevention licences, plus integrated security and monitoring systems for the hospital’s IT infrastructure.
Together, these projects show a shift from isolated security tools to integrated monitoring, governance and staff capability, with SOC services often at the centre.
Hospitals are not the only public bodies turning to SOC models. Other institutions are procuring shared or managed SOC services to boost resilience.
In November 2025, Lietuvos Respublikos aplinkos ministerija published a notice for SOC Systems Configuration and Maintenance, covering deployment, maintenance and security analytics of SOC tools for institutions under the ministry, all tied to a National SOC/CSIRT modular system.
In January 2026, German cooperative govdigital eG tendered for Security Operations Center Services using cooperative Hybrid and Managed SOC models. The scope includes security monitoring, detection, containment and optional threat hunting and consulting, aimed at public administration and companies.
Poland’s national labour inspectorate, Państwowa Inspekcja Pracy Główny Inspektorat Pracy, is also moving in this direction. Its January 2026 SOC Service Procurement covers comprehensive information security services, including launching and maintaining a SOC, automating security processes, detecting attacks using honeypot technology and managing secure user access.
These procurements suggest that SOC capabilities are increasingly being centralised or shared, whether through national systems, cooperatives or outsourced models, and that healthcare is part of a wider public‑sector move towards continuous security monitoring.
Across the notices, several themes recur:
The SOC Service for Hospital Monitoring in Łódź fits squarely into this picture. It treats SOC monitoring as an essential layer of an e‑services project, rather than a separate security add‑on.
For public‑sector observers, the next phase to watch will be how these SOC deployments evolve: whether more hospitals and authorities opt for shared or outsourced SOC arrangements, how often SOC services are bundled with training and governance work, and how tightly they are linked to broader digital health and administration projects.
For now, the growing number of contract notices suggests that SOC monitoring is on its way to becoming a basic requirement wherever public services depend on complex digital infrastructure.
