I'm not sure, but I don't think that it is open to any professional body to administer the test to its members. It is done for the body that administers the system by a separate company.
On the costs issue, it ought to be paid for by the employer. After all, if they are told they can't bring their staff on site (and therefore can't win the contract), it is in their interest to get all their staff qualified.
I am very glad to see archaeology added as one of the trades in CSCS - it was not available earlier this year, when I took my test.
