Does sharing code with a 3rd party vendor to develop for us constitute a distribution?

Hello, I looked on the forum here and can't find the answer to this question. Apologies if it has been asked before. Say we are using drupal 6.2 and have made some some custom modules that we don't intend to distribute at this time. If we now engage with a 3rd party development vendor for more modules/features work, we will need to share our code base with them to perform that work. Does that constitute a distribution?

From the little I can find on this, it seems that it depends on the contractual relationship with the vendor. Is a contractual relationship with a vendor (or host, etc.) OK when you are developing on GPL2? How is this normally handled? Thanks in advance.
