purveyors
Those who furnish
Purveyors are suppliers or providers, typically of goods or services.
The word carries a slightly formal or commercial tone, often appearing in business names or descriptions: purveyors of fine wines, purveyors of handcrafted goods.
It can extend to abstract things: purveyors of misinformation, purveyors of doom and gloom.
The singular is purveyor.
