La baja del proveedor
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Other
A corruption report from a company has a list of recommendations for how to clean up a bribery scheme they discovered. The list includes the following things:
- Evaluar la baja de Jorge Ramiro (this is a guy who confessed to being involved)
- Evaluar la baja del proveedor Frutas Frescas y/o monitorear su desempeno a la luz de la posibilidad de que haya otorgado regalos a Jorge Ramiro.
From the first item it sounds like they want to evaluate the "firing" of Jorge, but then the next one seems to mean something else since it appears that this supplier is still working with them based on the rest of the sentence...
what do you think? Should I use "firing" "termination" or "leave" for Ramiro and what would you say for the supplier? any help is appreciated, thanks!

breaking up with fresh fruit supplier
My suggestion, since it supposed to be a commercial relationship. If you use "eliminating supplier", it seems you're gonna get rid of him in a more radical way.

: Breaking up is something you do with boy/girlfriends; elimination is not a Mafia term in this context :)

Q: Should I use "firing" "termination" or "leave" for Ramiro and what would you say for the supplier?
A: Use my option. You can still make it sound formal enough: -
- Assess letting Jorge Ramiro go;
- Consider dispensing with (Supplier)'s services.

Discussion
Best wishes, and glad to see the dilemma has been worked out.
Noni
Pamela, it's perfectly clear.
They're discussing future actions.
As regards a) they're assessing whether to terminate the contract/agreement.
As regards b) they're assessing whether to terminate, or monitor their performance. This can't be the first poorly worded text you've come across.
Apart from echoing Noni's concern (these aren't real names, right?),
Pamela, I fail to understand why you think "Evaluar la baja" means different things in each case. The only difference is that in the second case they're assessing two options (NB. "y/o"). ie eliminate and/or monitor ....
