Welcome
Just imagine. What if we could build a stronger, more inclusive community simply by purchasing the goods and services that we already need?
We can, and at Duke, we do!
Welcome to the Duke University & Health System Supplier Diversity Program (SDP). Many sectors of our community encounter barriers to success in entrepreneurship, ownership, and financial growth, and Duke takes seriously the responsibility to address these barriers. Providing true equal opportunity means being active and intentional about how we do business.
Embracing diversity is more than "the right thing to do." Responsible buying makes good business sense. By drawing on a broad pool of suppliers, Duke purchasers:
- Build relationships with historically underutilized business sectors
- Encourage effective competitive bidding
- Secure high quality commodities and services at competitive prices
- Grow our local economy
Whether you are a potential supplier, key business partner, or Duke purchaser, I hope you will join us in creating success for everyone.
Vanessa Hamer
Supplier Diversity Coordinator
