Published on 2nd April 2026, Kliniczny Szpital Wojewódzki im. św. Jadwigi Królowej w Rzeszowie has gone to market for an expansion of its radiology IT, bringing artificial intelligence (AI) tools into imaging workflows and integrating them with a wider Intelligent Services Platform. The Hospital Radiology System Expansion contract combines software upgrades, new backup mechanisms and staff training, framed around goals of accessibility and sustainability.
The notice sets out a programme to expand the hospital’s radiology system with AI tools and to connect that system to an Intelligent Services Platform. Alongside deploying new functionality, the successful supplier will be expected to upgrade existing components, introduce or enhance backup mechanisms and deliver training for staff who use the system.
Although the description remains high level, it clearly goes beyond a simple software add-on. By coupling AI deployment with upgrades, resilience measures and training, the hospital is signalling that it views AI-enabled imaging as part of its core operational infrastructure.
The reference to accessibility places patient and staff access needs on the same footing as technical performance. Likewise, the mention of sustainability suggests that environmental and long-term operational considerations should inform choices about hardware, software and support models, even though the detailed criteria are not set out in the summary.
The Rzeszów project sits within a visible move towards AI-enabled imaging across the hospital sector. In November 2025, SZPITAL PRASKI P.W. PRZEMIENIENIA PAŃSKIEGO spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością issued a RIS and PACS System Replacement notice to replace its radiology information system and expand PACS servers “with AI capabilities”, fully integrated with the wider hospital system and enabling remote examination review and reporting.
In December 2025, Mazowiecki Szpital Specjalistyczny sp. z o. o. went to market with a Diagnostic Imaging System Procurement covering the processing, archiving and distribution of diagnostic images and medical documentation. Its specification highlights modules for teleradiology, DICOM integration and AI solutions, pointing to an approach where AI is introduced alongside telemedicine and interoperability rather than in isolation.
More recently, in February 2026, Szpital Czerniakowski sp. z o.o. launched a PACS/RIS System Upgrade and Equipment Delivery procurement that couples an upgrade of its PACS/RIS system with integration into an Intelligent Services Platform and the delivery of new diagnostic equipment. In the same month, Szpital Miejski św. Jana Pawła II w Elblągu published an Expansion of Radiology System tender to extend its RIS/PACS Alteris II installation with new functionalities, including an integration module with an Intelligent Services Platform, e-Registration and e-Results, and tools for importing and harmonising image data from external media.
Taken together, these projects show imaging departments at the forefront of AI adoption. The Rzeszów hospital’s focus on radiology aligns with that trend, positioning its new tools within a wider movement to modernise diagnostic imaging, enable remote reading and tighten integration with hospital-wide systems.
A defining feature of the Rzeszów contract is the requirement to integrate the expanded radiology system with an Intelligent Services Platform. This platform recurs across many current hospital IT procurements, where it functions as a shared layer linking radiology, hospital information systems and electronic medical records.
In December 2025, "PODDĘBICKIE CENTRUM ZDROWIA" spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością set out plans in its Expansion of IT Systems notice to expand its HIS and PACS/RIS systems, migrate application environments to new infrastructure and integrate with an Intelligent Services Platform, supported by new licences and technical assistance. In February 2026, Wojewódzki Szpital Zespolony im. Stanisława Rybickiego w Skierniewicach launched an IT System Expansion and Digitization project that focuses on expanding IT systems, digitising medical documentation and integrating with a Platform of Intelligent Services, while introducing new electronic documentation, strengthening cybersecurity and deploying AI solutions in healthcare.
Also in February 2026, Zespół Opieki Zdrowotnej w Suchej Beskidzkiej issued an IT Systems Integration and Expansion contract that aims to integrate and expand provider IT systems, implement new forms of electronic medical documentation, digitise existing records and apply AI solutions, all underpinned by cybersecurity and service support. Later that month, Wojewódzki Szpital Specjalistyczny im. Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej published an IT System Expansion for Healthcare tender focused on expanding IT systems for integration with an Intelligent Services Platform, with analytical and design work, AI implementation and training for users and administrators all included.
In March 2026, Okręgowy Szpital Kolejowy w Katowicach-s.p.z.o.z. released an AI Solutions for Hospital Integration notice for a PACS image archiving system integrated with its HIS and an Intelligent Services Platform, backed by comprehensive servicing of existing IT infrastructure. Days later, Wojewódzki Szpital Zespolony w Kielcach advertised a Hospital IT System Expansion project combining expansion of the hospital IT system, integration with the P1 system and implementation of AI solutions to improve digital maturity and cybersecurity, while adhering to principles of equality, sustainability and accessibility.
The radiology tender in Rzeszów therefore forms part of a wider wave of work in which AI is deployed within a framework of shared platforms, electronic documentation and strengthened cybersecurity, rather than as a standalone tool.
The Rzeszów notice stands out for naming accessibility and sustainability alongside technical deliverables such as AI tools, integration and backup. That framing reflects a broader tendency in hospital IT procurements to tie digital transformation to environmental standards, equal opportunities and inclusive service design.
In February 2026, Samodzielny Publiczny Zespół Opieki Zdrowotnej w Brzesku specified in its Healthcare IT Systems Expansion procurement that modernisation of its PACS system — including software updates, new modules for 3D reconstruction and e-consultations, installation and configuration, a perpetual licence and 36 months of support — must comply with environmental and equal opportunity regulations. The March 2026 Hospital IT System Expansion project in Kielce similarly couples AI and cybersecurity improvements with explicit commitments to equality, sustainability and accessibility.
Resilience is another recurring concern. In January 2026, WOJEWÓDZKI SZPITAL SPECJALISTYCZNY im. Błogosławionego Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki we Włocławku went to market for an Expansion of PACS/RIS System that extends its diagnostic imaging IT with new modules, stronger integration with an Intelligent Services Platform, enhanced backup capabilities and increased PACS licences, together with a three-year warranty and support period. The Rzeszów hospital’s focus on backup mechanisms for its radiology system mirrors this shift towards treating imaging platforms as critical infrastructure that must stay available even as new AI components are layered on.
For potential bidders, the Rzeszów contract sits in a market that increasingly expects suppliers to deliver integrated, multi-layered solutions. In October 2025, Wielkopolskie Centrum Pulmonologii i Torakochirurgii im. Eugenii i Janusza Zeylandów framed its Hospital Information System Expansion tender around enhanced cybersecurity, expanded functionality and AI services, explicitly requiring a single contractor to ensure seamless integration and continuous operation. In February 2026, "SZPITAL POWIATOWY W RAWICZU" spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością set out a similar multi-strand approach in its Expansion of HIS System notice, covering integration and expansion of IT systems at the district hospital, server procurement, digitisation of medical documentation, AI implementation and staff training.
The Rzeszów radiology tender reflects the same direction of travel. Suppliers are expected not only to provide AI tools, but also to integrate them with existing clinical systems and an Intelligent Services Platform, put in place robust backup arrangements and equip staff to use the new capabilities. Experience in PACS/RIS modernisation, Intelligent Services Platform integrations, electronic documentation projects and compliance with environmental and equal opportunity requirements — all emphasised across these related procurements — is likely to be valuable.
Across this wave of hospital IT tenders, public documentation emphasises objectives such as AI deployment, interoperability with Intelligent Services Platforms and the P1 system, digitisation of medical records, cybersecurity, accessibility and sustainability. As the Hospital Radiology System Expansion procurement in Rzeszów progresses, observers will be watching how hospitals and suppliers translate those aims into concrete technical specifications, service levels and governance for AI-enabled imaging that is reliable, accessible and sustainable.
