it is rather for administrative purposes
Here's one option!
Rather
2 [AS SUBMODIFIER] To a certain or significant extent or degree:
she’s been behaving rather strangely
he’s rather an unpleasant man
3Used to suggest that the opposite of a previous statement is the case; on the contrary:
[SENTENCE ADVERB]: There is no shortage of basic skills in the workplace. Rather, the problem is poor management

After further thought, I think you need a semicolon after 'proceso' and instead of 'it is', use 'but'.
'...in the process; but rather for administrative purposes'

Taken overall, this would not increase expenditure but rather reduce it.
Globalmente, este nuevo enfoque no aumentaría los gastos, sino más bien los reduciría.
