QRpedia plaques were less than £100 each (I forget the exact figure). Add
20% for losses, repairs, updates, breakages (this is central London)...
Andy, would you be willing to get in touch with English Heritage?

+1
I'm happy to be involved in any project to do this.
However, a caveat: Many blue plaques are high up on buildings. QR
codes need to be just off ground level, so may need a second,
subsidiary plaque.
Sounds fantastic! What's a blue plaque cost to install? And,
presumably, maintain and so on.
