How can I call a WordPress shortcode within a template?

Question

There's a plugin for the Contact us form.

To activate the form, all you have to do is to place [CONTACT-US-FORM] in the page...

My page is calling a page template. Is it possible to add the [CONTACT-US-FORM] shortcode in the PHP template?

I tried it and it did not work.

The WordPress page worked, but not the method I want.

[CONTACT-US-FORM] 

PHP Contact Us template I want to try something like this, but it did not work.

<?php /* Template Name: [contact us]  */ get_header(); ?> [CONTACT-US-FORM] <?php get_footer(); ?>
