In the US and Canada, it's also common to say that "bids have been let".
Bids have been let for a multi-million-dollar renovation project at the Washington Crossing Visitor's Center. Bids will be due by Wednesday, Jan. 5.

You are confusing the noun "bid" with the verb "to bid".
The verb "to bid" means to offer a price for something, esp. at an auction. (verbs denote action)
The noun "bid" means an offer or a tender. (nouns are things, persons, places, or animals)
The house was put up for rent yesterday.

Would these work?
"The house was put to a bidding process."
"The rent was put to a bidding process."
I was inspired by the phrase "put to the test".
