Title: Tools For Assessing The Competitiveness Of A Construction Company As A Contractor In Public-Private Partnership Projects
Abstract: Public-private partnership enables the state and the private sector to obtain mutual benefit by combining financial, management, and technological resources, combining the solution of socially significant tasks of the country's socioeconomic development with the achievement of the interests of business and the community. The article is devoted to the study of tools for assessing the competitiveness of a construction enterprise as an executor in public-private partnership projects. The main research methods were: comparison method; methods of analysis and synthesis; method of abstraction and method of formalization. In the course of the study, the theoretical approaches to the definition of public-private partnership were summarized and the existing cases of public-private partnership application in the field of work of the construction enterprise were investigated. Based on the analysis of cases, it was established that the use of public-private partnership allows to eliminate existing gaps in the work of a construction enterprise and increase the efficiency of its operation. It was determined that the positive effect of the use of public-private partnership in the field of work of a construction enterprise is manifested not only in increasing its competitiveness, but also in improving the functioning of adjacent sectors and strengthening the competitive positions of the national economy as a whole. A number of recommendations are provided for further study of the toolkit for assessing the competitiveness of a construction enterprise as an executor in public-private partnership projects within the framework of subsequent scientific works. Unfortunately, the developments currently available in domestic economic science and practice regarding the implementation of mechanisms of public-private partnership and commercial concession do not reflect the branch specifics of contract construction and the complexity of implementing the life cycle of a construction investment project on the basis of public-private partnership.

4. Flowchart Design: The current flowchart's readability is compromised by an arrow obscuring some blocks. Redesigning for clarity is necessary.
5. Algorithm Placement: The algorithm's description should be relocated from the Results to the "Methodology" section to align with the logical flow of the article.
Overall Review: The manuscript offers valuable insights into assessing competitiveness in PPP projects but requires significant revisions. Addressing authorship accuracy, adhering to stylistic guidelines, mitigating plagiarism, enhancing visual elements, and correctly structuring content are crucial steps to improve the manuscript's quality and acceptance likelihood.
