The Contract Labour (R&A) will apply only if the strenght of contractual staff exceeds 20. Since the Act itself is not applicable, there is no necessity to take licence till the contractual strength goes up to 20.

Actually, contract labour act applicability (minimum number) varies from state to state.
Since the original post does not provide the details, it is not possible to definitely state that they are not covered under the act.

All you people please understand that CL Act is normative legislation. In the sense that a state can't make eligibility of Act for more than 20 contract workers, but a state can make this Act applicable for establishment engaging less than 20 contract workers. For establishments under the state rules in Andhra Pradesh, the Act is applicable for 10 or more contract workers.
Almost all the labour laws are normative, benefits / facilities you extend should not be less favourable than those stipulated in respective Acts.

So, there is nothing in the rules that says labour is Manuel work or anything to do with the factory. Every person who is on a contract, irrespective of what work he's doing, including highly skilled engineering people, are covered.
So, you need to register and the contractor needs to get a license
