You don't have to give them complete access to your GA account. You can limit what they have access to by creating a filtered profile.

In addition to their TOS specifications as Jeremiah mentioned in his answer, I would suggest you have one company run their campaign first stop, then have the other company start. Inserting annotations in your GA before during after as needed etc for each campaign so you have some good data on who did better.

I would hurry though because were nearing the end of Oct and come Nov ecommerce traffic will increase across the board and possibly skew results. So maybe have each company run a week of PPC?

Google doesn't allow you to buy ads from multiple accounts for the same company, see their TOS: support.google.com/adwordspolicy/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2600168
Sometimes this is allowed, but only in situations where the accounts are not advertising for the same terms in the same countries, etc
