You are not permitted to contract on a tier 2 visa. It will be a breach of your visa conditions.

You are only permitted to well for your tier 2 sponsor on their payroll through PAYE.

You are allowed to do a secondary job in the same SOC as your main job, outside of your main job working hours, for 20 hours per week but must be through PAYE on payroll, not contracting.
