Here is one such thing, which made me think it is possible. Am I not intercepting it right?

============================================================================================
The Sponsor can only assign a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) if they have full responsibility for deciding the duties, functions and outcomes or outputs of the job. Where you are carrying out work for a third party on your sponsor’s behalf, you must be contracted by your sponsor to provide a time-bound service or project on their behalf. This means a service or project which has a specific end date, after which it will have ended or the service provided will no longer be operated by the Sponsor or anyone else.
They must not be:
a) Agency workers, hired to a third party to fill a position with them, whether temporary or permanent, regardless of any contract between the sponsor and any employment agency or employment business.
b) Contracted to undertake an ongoing routine role or to provide an ongoing routine service for the third party, regardless of the length of any contract between the sponsor and another party. If the migrant is self employed there must be a contract for employment/services between the sponsor and the migrant. This contract must show:
the names and signatures of all involved (normally, the sponsor and the migrant);
the start and end dates of the contract;
details of the job, or piece of work the migrant has been contracted to do;
an indication of how much the migrant will be paid.
