No contract has been signed or recieved so I'm thinking no?

Speak with your boss and explain (not about the contract, but the fact that you think this role is no good for you), usually while you are on probation the notice period is taken with a pinch of salt.

If you are sure that the permie role is not for you then yes go for the contract, but do it honorably and try not to burn any bridges
