To all who are interested.
Below is the response I received from Andrew Evans. It seems that the £387 p. a. plus VAT is the only cost. That's less than we spend on posting paper copies annually.
I hope this helps.

Hi Sarah
I picked up your email below.
Just to clarify the position re Article Exchange.
Is included as part on an OCLC WorldShare ILL subscription at no additional charge, but is not sold or made available separately. An entry level WorldShare ILL subscription is £387 p.a. plus VAT and allows for up to 100 requests to be sent through the ILL system.
There is no additional cost to use AE, once a subscription is set up. You may upload up to 1,000 files per day per authorization. There is no limit to the number of documents a library user can retrieve daily.
Please see http://www.oclc.org/en-UK/worldshare-ill/features/article-exchange.html There is also a FAQ on the same page.
Please come back to me if you have any queries on the above.
Best regards
Andrew
