No, you don’t necessarily need to uninstall Bitwarden to install Vaultwarden. Bitwarden and Vaultwarden serve different purposes and can coexist on your system, depending on your needs and how you plan to use them.  
Also, on this Reddit sub, users discuss some issues that you might face:[Reddit - Dive into anything](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/v3m7zy/bitwarden_uninstall_itself_at_update/)  
I think you should know about them in advance.
