Included worksheets

  • Budget: venue, media coordination, production, catering, translation, travel, contingency and additional lines. Enter quantity, unit cost, tax rate, supplier, quote date and written-quote status; totals calculate automatically.
  • Quote log: compare dated supplier terms, scope, exclusions, cancellation conditions and approval status.
  • Instructions: definitions, inclusions and the difference between a budget and an accepted quotation.

For the distinction between PRS coordination and unquoted supplier costs, read the India press conference cost guide.

How to calculate a line

If a supplier quotes ₹12,000 for one room and 18% tax is confirmed, enter quantity 1, unit cost 12000 and tax rate 18%. The workbook calculates ₹14,160 for that line. This is an arithmetic example, not a venue price or PRS quotation. Check tax treatment with the supplier. The site's pricing calculator gives an indicative PRS coordination starting point; seek separate supplier quotations for the event.

Frequently asked questions

Does the workbook contain city price benchmarks?

No. Every cost cell is empty until you add a supplier quote or an explicitly labelled assumption.

Is the workbook a quotation?

No. Only a current written supplier or PRS proposal can confirm scope, availability and price.
