Consultation on Proposed Commitments to Supply Lift Spare Parts by BNF Engineering (S) Pte Ltd

Parties:

BNF Engineering (S) Pte Ltd (“BNF”)

Summary

CCS has been investigating alleged refusals to supply lift spare parts for the maintenance of lifts in HDB estates. If a lift company or distributor does not provide proprietary but essential lift spare parts to third-party lift maintenance contractors, other lift maintenance contractors may be prevented from effectively competing for contracts to maintain and service lifts of that particular brand in Singapore. 

To address CCS’s competition concerns, BNF has proposed voluntary commitments to CCS. The voluntary commitments provide that BNF will undertake to sell spare parts of the BNF brand of lifts to a purchaser subject to certain terms and conditions. 

Consultation:

Interested parties are invited to submit their views on the proposed commitments.  If the submission or correspondence contains confidential information, interested parties should also provide CCS with a non-confidential version of the submission or correspondence.

Comments should reach the CCS no later than 28 November 2017. Please send your comments (titled: Consultation on Proposed Commitments to Supply Lift Spare Parts by BNF) to:
