I have tried the not equal <>
and getting an Invalid Operation error
=COUNTIFS({Action Type}, $[Primary Column]@row, {New/Reclassified reference}, [Column2]$17, {PPB - PA, Recruitment and OL RF Range 1}, NOT(CONTAINS([Column2]$16)))

Your CONTAINS syntax is off. You need an @cell reference like so:
=COUNTIFS({Action Type}, $[Primary Column]@row, {New/Reclassified reference}, [Column2]$17, {PPB - PA, Recruitment and OL RF Range 1}, NOT(CONTAINS([Column2]$16, @cell)))
