Service Description
What is Pulpp?

Welcome to the Pulpp Service Description. This is a short guide that explains what Pulpp provides and how with works.

Pulpp (which is really just me - David Mizon) produces useful content (documents, clarifications, advice, and tools) relating to digital transformation in the NHS. It can be thought of as a big library of material that can be freely used, adapted, and repurposed by anyone that I build and curate.

The aim is to offer users access to a central store of open source knowledge they can use to support their organisations…

That supports a community based on open source principles, knowledge sharing, and free collaboration…

To achieve the goal of increasing the accessibility, use, and creation of open source knowledge, foster collaboration, and reduce duplication of effort by public, private, and academic sectors to support the effective and efficient digital transformation of NHS services.

This is not an easy goal but with a strong community, ease of access to information, freedom to reuse, and affordable model, Pulpp has all the right pillars to help find a new way of doing things.

The following service description is accurate for 2025. It is subject to ongoing review and may alter.

   • 10 bespoke questions per year as part of the Pulpp Clarifications Project. These can be about any thing you want relating to commercial, procurement, or digital transformation in the NHS. (No more than 2 questions per month)

Pulpp pricing is very simple. There is a single flat rate for all subscribers. There are discounted rates for micro organisations and students.

For more information on 'Why Pulpp Isn't Free' please see the About Pulpp page.

Pulpp pricing is also governed by a number of principles. Pulpp is a young organisation and looking to ensure it remains value for money. I am also looking to investigate other funding methods e.g. sponsorship, which would allow Pulpp to be made freely available to subscribers. Updates on pricing will always be made via the website and communicated directly via normal communications.

A subscription applies to an organisation, so please ensure your organisation doesn't already have a subscription. Some aspects of the subscription are subject to fair use. This includes access to the forum and wiki.

Initially, organisations will be allowed 25 active users on the wiki and forum (25 on both). These limits will increase over time but I want to ensure that no single organisation can 'take over' the community with sheer volume of users.

Users can be switched out at any time.

Whilst access to the wiki and other features will be limited, all content is made accessible to the purchasing organisation. You are more than welcome to create your own repository on an internal intranet or even install your own version of the wiki. This is the beauty of open source!

All output from Pulpp is open source so even if your organisation has a subscription you are free to provide Pulpp outputs to other organisations even if they don't subscribe. You can find out more at Pulpp Open Source.

Pulpp is subject to use according to a Terms of Service, Licence Terms, and the Pulpp Guidelines and Principles. The focus of these documents is to offer the utmost clarity on all things to do with your relationship with Pulpp, the wider community, and to the open source licences Pulpp uses. These terms are version controlled and freely available for the utmost transparency.

If you have any questions about any of the pages linked in this section please get in touch and I will happily walk you through them.

If you have made it this far thank you for your interest in Pulpp. We have limited spaces for the initial launch of Pulpp, so if you are interested in accessing the service and having a say in the direction of Pulpp please consider joining here.
