basically, you need to create a custom startup py file and deploy it (it
can also live on a network share), the startup script will contain the
instructions (using the QGIS python API)
to upgrade the plugins you need automatically.

See the links for some more information:

https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html#deploying-qgis-within-an-organization


Hope this helps.
