You can only use a CoS once and if you have been refused, it has been used. If you try, you risk refusal again for using an invalid Cos.

A CoS cannot be amended once assigned and used.

Get a new CoS.

And Cos assigned status remains assigned or it will change to Used status at some point?
Can company apply for new Cos straight away or have to wait for 28 days review lapse period?

Does the company need to inform homeoffice if skilled worker's visa has been refused?

Why would they need to inform the home office when it is the home office that processed and refused the application!!

The Sponsor has to notify visa refusal as part of their reporting duties. It is one of the strange bits of the SMS process. I totally get it that the Home Office knows it has been refused but that is how it is.

You stop sponsoring the worker
C1.22. You must tell us if you stop sponsoring a worker for any reason – for example:

you become aware the worker’s application for entry clearance or permission has been refused, or their permission has been cancelled, and any administrative review of, or appeal against, that decision has finally been determined
