The thing was, the other suitors Hortensio and Gremio did not at first know that Lucentio was actually a suitor for Bianca, since he was disguised as a teacher called Cambio. In fact Gremio sponsored him to be a teacher. Only later did Hortensio realize that Cambio was competition for Bianca. Tranio, who has disguised himself as Lucentio, does offer himself as a suitor. Gremio and Hortensio cannot have like that much but they don't say so.
In Act I Scene 2 of the Taming of the Shrew, both Hortensio and Gremio come up with plans to help either of them get the hand of Bianca. Hortensio sees in Petruchio the kind of man who might actually marry Katharina and clear the way for all of Bianca's suitors. He suggests this and Petruchio agrees enthusiastically before Gremio is even on the scene. When he does show up, he tells Hortensio that he has developed his own plan of installing the scholar Cambio (actually Lucentio in disguise) to pass Gremio's love-notes on to Bianca. Hortensio replies enthusiastically and says that he will install a music teacher for the same purpose. He doesn't tell Gremio that he will disguise himself as the music teacher.
