Competition Commission of Singapore 43
Annual Report 2013/14

National Parks Board
In March 2014, CCS provided
the National Parks Board with
general tips and information
on international best practices
on procurement processes
that could be considered when
designing tenders to maximise
the benefits of competition and
obtain best value-for-money.
These best practices also covered
ways to minimise the risk of bid

Workplace Safety and Health
Council
In February 2014, the Workplace
Safety and Health Council (WSHC)
requested advice from CCS on
its initiative for insurers to collect
and share claim records of
insured organisations. This is to
allow insurers to price insurance
premiums more accurately, and
encourage companies to adopt
better workplace safety and health
practices to enjoy lower premiums
potentially.

CCS worked with WSHC to
understand the initiative in the
context of the workplace health
and safety insurance market in
Singapore. We assessed that
the initiative is unlikely to affect
competition in the market adversely
and hence unlikely to infringe the
Competition Act. In addition, CCS
made several recommendations
for WSHC to consider in its
implementation of the initiative
so as to safeguard and enhance
competition in the market. (From Left to Right): Herbert Fung, Director, Business & Economics; Ng Ming Jie,
