Lowe’s Supplier Inclusion

For the better part of a century, Lowe’s has served customers by doing much more than selling products. We actively seek, engage, and empower a diverse network of suppliers, fostering economic inclusion, innovation, and community impact. Lowe’s sources suppliers that best match our business needs, regardless of their business size or classification. Through fair and open competition, we aim to build strong partnerships, contribute to local economies, and drive social responsibility. To win in retail, you must be an advocate for the needs and values of your customers. To do this, we carefully evaluate each vendor’s capabilities to ensure they meet our qualifications, which helps us deliver the right products at the right price. This is how we create a more inclusive and resilient supply chain that supports our business needs and supports the communities we serve.

In addition, diverse certification is highly recommended. Diverse certification occurs through a third-party accredited certification organization. Such organizations not only validate a business’ ownership, but they also offer numerous benefits to help differentiate certified businesses from the competition. To learn more about becoming certified, view the links to third-party accredited certification organization partners’ websites.

What Happens After I Register?

Registration is required for all contracted suppliers at Lowe’s. However, completing the registration process doesn’t guarantee that your company will receive a request to bid, product review and/or a contract from Lowe’s, nor does it imply that your company has any type of procurement relationship with Lowe’s, either now or in the future.

Registration in this portal ensures that all Lowe’s buyers have access to your company’s capabilities/product/service offerings.

Your company’s addition to the portal isn’t the trigger for inclusion in a Product Line Review or for the request for proposal (RFP) process, as this is driven by the expiration of existing contracts and the start of new business initiatives.
