vx £230 a side.
Lemforder £110 a pair delivred. Autovaux afaik.
Fia. A pair. £50
Do not go for buypartsbuy or first line items.

Would go for lemforder myself. Or if you have an old pair( or keep your current old pair) , press merle heavy duty bushes into them. Bit of a pig of a job without a press, the correct drifts and Mark dtm though.

They come in two halves. Slide them in each side, insert the steel tube and refit to car. Job done.
NB Some rubber bushes have two metal sleeves, the 2nd one I changed had only one.

Who supplies the polybushes and how much are they?

From Turks video it looks like wishbones not removed from car to change bushes!
