When B is talking about how it will deal with A after the contract is
awarded to B, does B refer to A as the 'incumbent' or the 'previous'
contractor? For instance: "We (B) will communicate rapidly with the
[incumbent/previous] contractor as soon as the contract is awarded to
us."

Why not just say "We (B) will communicate rapidly with Company A as soon as the contract is awarded to us."

That way there is no confusion or possibility of misunderstanding.

If you don't want to do it that way, then specifically state how you are going to refer to Company A in the contract (or agreement or whatever it is), For example, when you first mention Company A say "Company A (the "previous contractor") just like you would with an acronym.
