It could easily evolve into an symbiotic friendship.
Vampires need blood to survive, and tends to be charismatic and charming - Exactly what is need to rule over a bunch of mortals as a cruel overlord. However, Vampires are often less focused on raw power, so they rarely have standing armies.
Liches need souls to sustain themselves, and the stereotypical way for them to get these are to go on unholy crusades, capturing civilians and consuming them. Liches are, thus, very good at warmongering - A Lich without untold hordes of undead at it's disposal might as well just be a Wizard. This often has the consequence of attracting pesky murderhobo adventurers, which, as we all know, can easily put a dent in the most creative Undead's plan.

Having the Vampire sustain a human population for blood and soul-generation, and having the Lich constructing a terrifying undead army to deter invaders - Well, it'd say they compliment each other rather well.

That sounds like a theocracy waiting to happen. The vampire lord feeds on the living as they pray to serve in the lich's legion of the dead as their afterlife.

That is definitely an interesting prospect.
This leads to potential conflict as well; if enough mortals can be convinced of an Undeads divinity, will it be enough to ascend to godhood?
What is the Lich is building up a secret ritual to capture all the souls of the mortals in the area, sweeping through and ascending him?
The Vampire realizes this, and have to stop the Lich from slaughtering his only source of food. He has no alternative than to ask adventurers for help, suddenly needing to protect a 'few' meagre peasants while formulating a strategy that will allow the Lich to be defeated.

Maybe the adventurers need to seek help from other locations?

They both turn into ghouls, eat corpses and fuck each other until one of their dicks decays off. Realizing he errors of their ways, they spend their lives stitching various body parts onto themselves until none of their original bodies remains.

This happened in Ravenloft one time when Strahd and Azalin Rex joined forces to rip a goatse hole in the demiplane to escape

Ever seen the play No Exit? It might be like that. Three terrible people are trapped in a hotel room in hell forever. But they never realize they are free to leave at any time, because they are codependent on each other.
