Measurements tbh but roughly 50cm x 25-30cm from 8mm ally plate.
What should I expect to pay for these making - should I go to a local place or send my design off to one of the 'one-off' Internet places?
Thanks in advance.
I'm soon going to need some brackets made similar to the below.

If these are for mounting some wings... I'd think 8mm is a bit overkill! you'd probably be fine with 4-5mm! weight saving man!
My choice would be a grinder, dremmel, file and a powercoater friend.
I know, I'm no help at all 
50 off and I'd be sending drawings off for water jet/laser quotation,
but for 1 off it would be drill holes in the corners to match the radius and a 125mm slitting disc for the straights, sheet from eBay.
( I'm a little confused as the title says "1 off" and your text says "some brackets". )
Whatever cutting method is used to cut it/them there's going to be a lot of filing and rubbing down.
Your excellent drawing has a nice radius on all the cut edges.
As for cost it's whatever the cheapest quote comes back, or nothing if you do it yourself.

Find a local water cutters. Cheapest is you supply the material and CAD file, cash in hand. I had 2 wing mounts cut for £10 for the pair which were slightly bigger. It was the 8mm Ali that cost £30! I've used my local place a lot on my rebuild and they're much much cheaper than anything else - even laser!
