I would not show a proposal from one vendor to another vendor for two reasons:

a) I think it’s unethical to do this because any proposal contains confidential information that no vendor would like their competition to see

b) The other vendor (s) should present their own proposal (s) based on the information provided to the first vendor. That would be a good way to compare apples to apples. It’s very easy to “improve” on a competitors proposal; it’s harder to stand out from the competition without such privileged info.
