No, no contradiction. The PM/Government can use their powers to trigger Article 50 and then Parliament does what's needed to change UK laws to implement any subsequenty deals/treaties.
For me it is an academic discussion, but if I was British citizen (subject) I would be very unhappy at the idea that the PM can make it up as she goes along. It will be interesting to see how this pans out legally.
