20 Jan 2025 Hong Kong Commercial Cleaning Services Limited, Man Shun Hong Kong & Kln Cleaning Company LimitedCleaning cartel in public housing tenders: company penalties of 22.26 million HKD €2.77m
In January 2025 the Competition Tribunal (Hong Kong's specialist competition court) imposed allegedly agreed penalties on two cleaning companies that, from at least May 2016 to August 2018, exchanged confidential bid information in 17 tenders of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (the public housing authority) for cleaning services at public housing estates (contract value around 180 million HKD) – price fixing under the First Conduct Rule (the ban on anti-competitive agreements); the case came to light through a complaint from a group that included cleaners at a housing estate. Hong Kong Commercial Cleaning Services Limited received 10,960,000 HKD, and Man Shun Hong Kong & Kln Cleaning Company Limited received 11,300,000 HKD on 20 January 2025. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Where competitors share offices, servers or staff, strict information barriers are needed – otherwise the exchange of bid data becomes a cartel.

17 Jun 2026 Kangaroo Limited (Keeta)Keeta gives binding commitment to open up its restaurant contracts Order
On 17 June 2026 the Competition Commission (Hong Kong's competition authority) accepted a commitment from Kangaroo Limited, which operates the Keeta food delivery platform in Hong Kong and is a subsidiary of Meituan. The authority was concerned that clauses in Keeta's agreements with partner restaurants made access harder for new and small platforms and softened competition – a possible breach of the First Conduct Rule (the ban on anti-competitive agreements). Keeta had already amended the agreements voluntarily (cooperation with platforms of up to 10% market share without losing incentives, easier switching, no bar on lower prices on the restaurants' own channels and on rival platforms); with the acceptance, these changes are legally binding and enforceable by the authority until 28 December 2026.
Platforms should proactively align their exclusivity and price parity clauses with the standards the authority has already imposed on their competitors.
