What sort of things are you needing for this? General "Oxford is in the SE of England, so is relatively expensive", etc, or...? Amsterdam has some standard prices; Gdansk doesn't seem to mention this.
Typically costs are given for general things. See some previous years bids for this.
Travel costs might be tricky - I mean, predicting air costs six months out is tough, much less eighteen. It should be possible to do something comparable to the Amsterdam & Gdansk bids, though - all three may be spurious numbers, but at least they're comparably spurious ;-)
For the time being, simply give estimated costs i suppose. Exact prices arnt much help due to reasons you give.
