Request under the Code on Access to Information: Expenditure, Procurement, and ISD Coordination for Mascot "Anyone"
Dear Fire Services Department,
Under the Code on Access to Information, I would like to request information regarding the procurement, expenditure, and inter-departmental coordination for the mascot "Anyone" :
1. Expenditure & Cost Breakdown: An itemized annual breakdown of total expenditure allocated to "Anyone" from its launch in 2018 to the present financial year (covering character design, costume manufacturing, event execution, and media advertising), specifying the proportion spent on external agencies versus in-house production.
2. Tender Briefs & Procurement: Copies of tender documents, contract specifications, or service briefs issued for external PR, social media management, or video production services featuring "Anyone" from 2018 to present.
3. Coordination with ISD: Whether the Fire Services Department has consulted, coordinated with, or sought advice from the Information Services Department (ISD) regarding the design, branding, or public relations strategy for "Anyone", and whether its procurement was handled through ISD or directly via external tendering.
Should certain contract terms contain commercially sensitive information, please redact those specific parts and provide the remaining non-sensitive sections.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response within the standard timeframe.
Yours faithfully,
Wendy

Dear Wendy,
Please find our reply as follows -
1. Expenditure & Cost Breakdown: An itemized annual breakdown of total
expenditure allocated to "Anyone" from its launch in 2018 to the present
financial year (covering character design, costume manufacturing, event
execution, and media advertising), specifying the proportion spent on
external agencies versus in-house production.
2. Tender Briefs & Procurement: Copies of tender documents, contract
specifications, or service briefs issued for external PR, social media
management, or video production services featuring "Anyone" from 2018 to
present.
Re Q1-2:
"Anyone" was designed internally by FSD to promote the message that anyone
can help save lives. The initiative aims to enhance public awareness of
self-help and mutual aid, encouraging people to step forward and lend a
helping hand under safe conditions. As such, the design, publicity, and
operation of "Anyone" did not incur additional manpower or financial
resources.
Therefore, FSD does not maintain separate statistics on the "Expenditure &
Cost Breakdown" and "Tender Briefs & Procurement" of this specific
initiative.
3. Coordination with ISD: Whether the Fire Services Department has
consulted, coordinated with, or sought advice from the Information
Services Department (ISD) regarding the design, branding, or public
relations strategy for "Anyone", and whether its procurement was handled
through ISD or directly via external tendering.
Re Q3:
"Anyone" was designed internally by FSD to promote the message that anyone
can help save lives. The initiative aims to enhance public awareness of
self-help and mutual aid, encouraging people to step forward and lend a
helping hand under safe conditions. As such, the design, publicity, and
operation of "Anyone" did not incur additional manpower or financial
resources.
Therefore, there was no coordination between FSD and ISD regarding the
design, branding, public relations strategy and procurement for "Anyone".
