Quick answer
To become a supplier to The Range, approach its buying team directly — The Range doesn't run an open submission platform like RangeMe, so supply relationships start with a targeted pitch to the relevant category buyer through its head-office channels. The proposition that works: value-led home, garden and leisure products with sharp cost prices and dependable volume. Standard vendor requirements apply: product safety compliance, insurance, and reliable bulk logistics.
The Range is one of the UK's largest home, garden and leisure retailers — a broad-range value chain spanning furniture, homewares, DIY, arts and crafts, and seasonal goods, now also owner of Homebase's brand and stores. There's no public submission portal, which filters out casual approaches: supply starts with a direct, well-prepared pitch to the right category buyer. For value-priced general merchandise with volume behind it, it's a substantial and growing channel.
Identify the buyer for your department (homewares, garden, DIY, crafts, seasonal) and pitch directly through The Range's head-office contacts — concise deck, cost pricing, volumes, imagery and compliance status. No portal means preparation and persistence do the filtering.
Home and garden buying still happens heavily at trade fairs — Spring Fair, Autumn Fair, Glee and equivalents. The Range's buyers walk them; a stand or well-arranged meetings there put your product physically in front of the decision-maker.
Sell-through with B&M, garden centres, or online marketplaces gives a value-retail buyer the evidence that de-risks a listing. Value GM buying is rate-of-sale-led — bring the numbers.

Faster than grocery multiples — 3–6 months from pitch to purchase order is realistic when price and compliance line up.
