"Metal Supermarkets" (a franchise) will be able to give you a price quickly but are unlikely to be cheapest.
The message from sm snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com contains these words:
Try your local steel stockist. ISTR stock black mild steel was quite cheap last time I bought a bit.
It is a good bit cheaper to use stock bar rather than getting plate cut to width. There should be something available fairly close to 180 by 10. The stuff I got appears to be 148 by 11 so was probably nominally 150 by

There seems to be something missing from the table. For each width, it quotes 6 different weights per metre - presumably for different thicknesses - but it doesn't say what the thickness *is*.
Just looked at my records and I paid about £430 (inc VAT) for all my steel. However at least £200 of that was nuts, bolts, plate washers, timber connectors, and joist hangers. So the flitch plates could not have been more than £50 each. That was for four plates averaging 4m each, 8mm thick, 200mm high. It included the drilling and painting with passivating paint.

John, can you let me know who your supplier was for the steel. Cheers, Simon.
