my first question is this move is possible ,if yes what is the process

XYZ company has to complete the full and proper RLMT process to prove you have not been 'pre-selected' for the position.

Once that is done, if they are an approved sponsor, they can issue a CoS and you then apply for a new Tier 2 visa.

Contracting is not permitted on T2G.

In addition to Wanderer's comment, which company pays you and which payroll are you on? Do you get charged a 'commission fee'?

i am currently on ABC payroll we have direct Project work contract with XYZ

Does ABC company charge you a 'fee' or a percentage of your pay? If not and you are strictly PAYE, then nothing to worry about.

Is ABC an Umbrella?
