Hospital Information Systems — Public Tenders
Hospital information systems (HIS) are the digital backbone of modern clinics, comprising the totality of IT systems supporting clinical, administrative, and logistical processes. Procuring or replacing an HIS is one of the most complex and capital-intensive IT procurements in healthcare. Public hospital operators typically run these procedures as EU-wide tenders with long contract terms.
Typical tenders in the hospital information systems sector
- Procurement and rollout of a new hospital information system for a municipal hospital
- Migration of an existing HIS to a new platform including data migration
- Procurement of a clinical workstation system integrated with existing subsystems
- Introduction of a patient data management system (PDMS) for intensive care units
- Procurement of a digital observation chart and medication management solution
- Framework agreement for maintenance, support, and further development of an existing HIS

Challenges in finding tenders
HIS tenders are especially complex because they often span numerous modules and subsystems — from patient admission and OR planning through to billing. Tenders are published under widely varying labels: "hospital information system", "clinical information system", "HIS", "Clinical Information System", or simply "hospital IT". HIS tenders are also often split into functional lots awarding individual modules separately.
The long project durations and high investment volumes make early identification of procurement procedures business-critical. Preliminary market consultations and pre-qualification procedures are the norm in this segment, and missing the entry point can mean exclusion for many years.
