1st, i'm assuming you need to ply the floor. Lay 6mm ply with fixings spaced 100mm apart (lots of screws, draw a grid). 9 sheets ply approx and tub of screws £150/180. Labour 1 day

2nd, usually you can lay vinyl direct onto ply but must use glue product related to make of vinyl, if nothing recommended then use Ball (sometimes known as F-ball or F41 (I think)). Best to obtain from a commercial flooring supplying company. Dependant on size of vinyl planks and angles and cuts etc (or special patterns ) the laying should take approx 1 day to 12 hours.

3rd, edges, usually either skirting on top, quadrant bead or silicone. Either way should only take a few hours maximum.

If I were to price and lay my estimate would be:
Materials (not including the actual vinyl as prices vary massively) - £220 - £250
Labour - 2 and 1/2 days, allow for three (for any unforeseen issues)

Just ask for a floor fixer to talk you through the job.
They are not like real tradesmen who keep trade secrets, secret, they will gladly tell you how to do their job, so you do not have to pay them.
Funny enough a lot are out of work.
Saved loads of money picking their brains.
It's not an over complicated job with someone talking you through, more hard work than skill.
